1944 Vintage wine

1944, an unsatisfactory vintage in Bordeaux but of good quality for the Sauternes

The Bordeaux region took advantage of the sunny days until the harvest, when the rain came in. The 1944 vintage is a bit disappointing, but the red wines are fine and relatively supple. 1944 Bordeaux wines are in great demand today. The most prestigious wines of 1944 are the Château Mouton Rothschild 1944 and the Château Haut Brion 1944.

Sauternes are of superior quality, despite inequalities in several areas. Sweet wines are generally sweet and sappy like the Château Guiraud 1944.

In Burgundy, 1944 was a bad year.
