2019 was a very good vintage, producing fine and elegant wines with excellent ageing potentials, thanks to mild weather conditions in France.
The 2019 harvest was very successful in Bordeaux : the warm and dry weather in september allowed the grapes to mature perfectly with an ideal balance between sweetness and acidity, a necessary condition for a high quality wine.
In Bourgogne, the 2019 production was no easy ride for most winemakers. The weather conditions, with frost, drought and excessive heat, did not help.
However, the production was saved and the vines produced quality grapes and a wonderful 2019 vintage with a nice acidity level.
For a special event, offering a good 2019 bottle to a collector is an excellent idea. Any wine is a perfect gift idea and will delight lovers of ancient crus, especially if they are well preserved. Enjoy !
