Wine vintage rating 1983
1983 An excellent vintage in Bordeaux.
Weather in the year 1983
Good filling levels, good wine quality
Of course, the good condition of a wine from an old vintage depends on excellent storage. Above all, the wine must not have frequently changed cellars. Ideally, the wine will have rested in one and the same wine cellar.
But also the cork that sits in each individual bottle is very important. A perfect cork has few pores and keeps the wine stable. If an inferior cork happens to have been used in a bottle, the porous surface will begin to soak up wine and allow micro-quantities of the liquid to evaporate over the decades. Poor fill levels are the result.
A poor fill level therefore also indicates a high risk that the wine bottle could soon begin to leak.
The fill levels explained:
In the bottle neck (high fill to base neck) about 2 cm is perfect for wines.
Top and upper shoulder, ([very] top shoulder), approx. 3 cm is very good for very old wines.
Medium shoulder (mid shoulder), about 4 cm is only acceptable for rare top wines and in individual cases.
Everything below the red line should not be offered any more.

Château Larose-Perganson is an Haut Médoc of masterful tradition. It recounts the story of the pioneer planters of the Médoc, like Jean-Pierre de Pontet who chose this terroir to found Château Larose-Perganson in 1719. He discovered that the ancient bed of the Garonne, composed of round river pebbles carried here from the Pyrenees in the Quaternary period, created a miraculous terroir for the vines and the quality of the grapes. The wine they produced developed power and structure that enabled it to undergo lengthy ageing, and be improved by cellaring.

The Listrac-Médoc appellation is situated in the north-west of the Gironde County. This area, baptised The Roof of the Médoc, reaches a height of 43 metres above sea level.
Château Clarke dates back to the 12th century, when Cistercian monks at the Vertheuil Abbey in Listrac planted the first grapevines. In the year 1771 the Irish knight Tobie Clarke bought the vineyards with 230 hectares. Then, after a series of inheritances and sales, the property was bought in 1973 by Baron Edmond de Rothschild and has now 53 hectares of vineyards.
The grapevines are planted on clay-limestone hilltops that encourage the expression of the Merlot grape that largely dominates the vine mix (a rare feature in the Médoc district).

The 12-ha estate is adjacent to fifth-growth Chateau Clerc Milon, and first growth Chateau Mouton-Rothschild, both in Pauillac. A statement from Rothschild says La Fleur Milon ‘is regarded as one of the best growths in its category.’ The property is planted to 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Rothschild said her company would probably use some of La Fleur Milon’s grapes to enhance production of Clerc Milon. The new property – which Rothschild says she bought because ‘we couldn’t possibly let it go’ as its borders run alongside her existing properties – joins Château Mouton Rothschild, Château d’Armailhac and Château Clerc Milon in the Baronne Philippine de Rothschild portfolio.

Today it extends to over 25 hectares, not far from the historic town of Saint Emilion and located mainly in the western part of the municipality.

The respect Fieuzal has for its soil goes back over 400 years, when it was farmed by a handful of winegrowers. As the terroir gained prestige, it was named "Fieuzal" in 1864, after "Lovely Fieuzal", the last descendant of the Fieuzal family. Fieuzal's legendary 1893 vintage was on the table of Pope Leo XIII at the Vatican and its red wine was named Grand Cru Classé in 1959 and is now considered one of the best Grand Crus of Bordeaux. Protected by 30 hectares of woodland and extensive hedgerows, Fieuzal's vineyard is divided into 74 individual plots of 6 grape varieties. The pebbles that give the "Graves" appellation its name and the sand that flows between them provide the roots of the vines with rich minerals and have a remarkable ability to preserve freshness.

Château Pedesclaux has 45 hectares of well-sited vineyards, one parcel on a gravel plateau near Batailley, and another adjacent to Lafite-Rothschild and Mouton-Rothschild. The wine is a blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon and 39% Merlot. The classical dry red wine comes from the appellation Pauillac in Médoc. The characteristic of the Pauillac terroir is its exceptional relief: the many undulating ridges make it unique morphologically speaking. Highly favourable conditions facilitate the dissection of the layer of gravel. This thin, Garonne gravel from whose very poverty springs great richness, has an extremely effective natural drainage.

Chateau Batailley is a classic Pauillac. Among the various 5eme Grand Cru Classé of the Médoc, the estate occupies a significant place. There are several versions of the origin of the name. One of them refers to the battle (French: bataille) of Castillon in 1453, in which the French defeated the English. For a long time it was a joint property with the neighbouring Château Haut-Batailley. In 1942, it was divided in an inheritance between the brothers Marcel and Francois Borie. The larger part of Château Batailley then came into the possession of the Castéja family empire in 1969. In the Bordeaux classification of 1855, it was ranked fifth (Cinquième Cru Classé) as a single estate. The vineyards with 57 hectares of vines are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), Merlot (25%) and Cabernet Franc (5%) and are located on the south-western plateau of Pauillac.
