1944 Wine

1944 Wine

Our opinion on the 1944 vintage: an unsatisfactory vintage in Bordeaux but of good quality for Sauternes. The Bordeaux region enjoyed good weather until harvest time, when rain arrived. The harvest was abundant but uneven due to the rains. As a result, the wines are light, short, and for the most appealing ones, rather spicy and flavorful. Although somewhat disappointing, the 1944 vintage still offers red wines that are refined and relatively supple. Sauternes are of superior quality, despite inconsistencies in several estates. The sweet wines are generally soft and sappy, characteristics present in Château Guiraud 1944.

During 1944, Burgundy was liberated. The vegetation was delayed and the rains continued to fall. This resulted in a diluted and watery harvest and a poor vintage.

In the Rhône Valley, the quality of the 1944 vintage was not particularly remarkable. However, in the southern part, some good wines were produced.

 

Our advice for buying a 1944 wine

1944 Bordeaux wines are highly sought after today, particularly the Château Mouton Rothschild 1944 and the Château Haut Brion 1944 which we recommend.

This year, Sauternes are to be favored. We recommend the Château d'Yquem 1944 and the Château Climens 1944.
