1945 Wine

1945 Wine

The 1945 vintage is probably one of the best vintages of the century in the Bordeaux region. In Bordeaux, 1945 is considered one of the jewels of Bordeaux winemaking, notably the Château Latour 1945 which received a score of 100/100. Most red wines from 1945 require about fifty years for the dry tannins to soften. As for Bordeaux white wines, they are firm, dry, and well-structured, but they remain quite rare to obtain.

The 1945 wines from Burgundy, Champagne, Alsace, the Rhône Valley, and the Loire were also of great quality, distinguished by their power and balance.

F.A.Q

Les vins de 1945 sont-ils encore bons à boire aujourd'hui ?

Oui, les vins du millésime 1945 peuvent encore être excellents à boire aujourd'hui. Le millésime 1945 est réputé pour avoir produit des vins puissants, concentrés, tanniques et de très grande garde.

Si le vin a été bien conservé et qu'il s'agit d'une bouteille d'un grand domaine, il y a de fortes chances qu'il offre une expérience de dégustation remarquable, avec des arômes tertiaires complexes et une belle évolution.

Est-ce que le millésime 1945 est un bon millésime ?

Le millésime 1945 est un très bon millésime. Il est considéré comme l'un des millésimes les plus célèbres du XXe siècle, caractérisé par une qualité de raisins et une concentration exceptionnelle, en partie dues à une production très faible. Les vins rouges de 1945 sont décrits comme puissants, concentrés, tanniques et dotés d'un grand potentiel de garde, conservant encore aujourd'hui une "jeunesse fulgurante" pour de nombreux crus. 

Ce millésime est également jugé excellent pour les vins de Bourgogne, qui sont superbes, riches, puissants, avec une bonne longueur en bouche et un bouquet complexe, produisant des vins corsés et élégants.

Pourquoi 1945 est-il considéré comme un millésime particulier ou "mythique" ?

Le millésime 1945 est spécial pour deux raisons principales :

Les conditions climatiques ont été exceptionnelles. Il y a eu un été chaud et sec, suivant des gelées printanières qui ont réduit la production, a conduit à des raisins très concentrés. Il en a résulté des vins puissants, intenses et dotés d'un potentiel de garde exceptionnel, considérés parmi les meilleurs du XXe siècle.

L'année 1945 marque la fin de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. Le millésime est devenu un symbole de victoire et de libération. L'emblématique étiquette du Château Mouton Rothschild 1945, avec son grand "V" pour "Victoire", immortalise cette période historique, ajoutant une valeur émotionnelle et symbolique unique à ces vins.
