RED BURGUNDY 1945 - 1988
An incredible opportunity to judge the greatest Burgundy vintage of the post-war period...'45, '49, '59, '69 - they are all represented here by DRC, de Vogüé and Leroy.
1945
"Unquestionably a great vintage. As in Bordeaux, nature did the pruning and old-fashioned winemaking did the rest. Spring frost, followed by remarkably early and speedy flowering and a hot summer with low rainfall resulting in a small crop of highly concentrated ripe grapes. The best, and the best kept, still magnificent." GVWBII
Romanée-Conti--Vintage 1945
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Domaine embossed capsule. Level: 4cm
By the end of the war, the old ungrafted Pinot vines, despite producing wine of superlative quality, were becoming unproductive. This was the last of the "pre-phylloxera" vintages after which the Domaine replanted. Only 600 bottles of this wine was produced. Extremely rare. MB.
