This is the list of my
top 100 wines in 2013. It was a brilliant year for wine drinking. One of the best ever. The top half a dozen wines were consumed in and around my 50th birthday, and will always remain etched in my memory.
By country 89% are
French, 7% are Italian, 2% Australian and one each Spain and Portugal.
Of the total 51% are from
Bordeaux (57% of the French wine), 20% from Burgundy (22%), 16% from the Rhone
(18%) and 2% from other regions (one Alsace and one Champagne).
Within Bordeaux 31% of
the total (61% of Bordeaux) are from the left bank excluding Pessac/Graves, 16%
(31%) from the right bank, three from Sauternes/Barsac and one from
Graves/Pessac. On the left bank 13% of
the total (42% of the left bank) are from Pauillac and 6% (19%) from St-Julien
and 7% (23%) from the Margaux commune. The most popular estates are Latour (six
wines), Chateau Margaux (six), Chateau Montrose (four) and Chateau Talbot
(four). On the right bank there are 12 wines from Pomerol and four from
St-Emilion. Within Pomerol there are four wines from La Fleur Petrus, three
from Certan De May and two each from La Conseillante and Lafleur. Within Sauternes Barsac two of the three wines
are Chateau d’Yquem.
Within Burgundy there are
eight Cotes De Nuits reds, and ten Cotes De Beaune whites, with one Cote De
Beaune red and one Chablis. Within the Rhone half the wines, eight in total,
are Cote Rotie. There are two whites and only one Southern Rhone. In Italy all
the wine are Piedmont and either Barolo or Barbaresco.
