1946 Vintage wine

1946 Vintage wine

Our opinion on the 1946 vintage : a difficult year everywhere in France. Overall, the 1946 vintage was not a great success. In Bordeaux, the flowering was late with heavy rains in September. The quality of the vintage was generally poor but some wines were nevertheless good. As for Sauternes, the rain and the rot have had their effect on the vintage. In Burgundy, August was marked by difficult weather conditions, with hail, cold and rain. This was followed by a relatively warm September, but the harvest was greatly reduced due to hail damage. As a result, the overall quality of the vintage is rather poor.

In the Rhône Valley, the 1946 vintage falls within an average quality range, but it is overshadowed by the previous vintage, which is considered superior.

In Champagne, the harvest was extremely reduced and of mediocre quality due to coulure and millerandage issues. Only the House of Perrier Jouët managed to produce a vintage champagne under these difficult conditions.

   

Our advice for buying a 1946 wine

The harvest was very limited, with few exceptions. We particularly recommend Château Latour 1946 and Château Mouton Rothschild 1946. These wines managed to stand out despite the difficult conditions of that year.
