2006 Wine

2006 Wine

Our opinion on the 2006 vintage: a decent vintage, but overshadowed by the excellent 2005 vintage. 

In Bordeaux, weather conditions were a real roller coaster: rainy March followed by very hot months, rainy and cool August, but the late season was very sunny and saved the harvest. The estates that waited the longest and selected their grapes most carefully fared the best. In Burgundy and Champagne, bad weather created significant differences. Quality was achieved through rigorous hand selection of grapes, resulting in some beautiful wines.

The 2006 Rhône vintage was excellent for both North and South.

Our advice for buying a 2006 wine

In Bordeaux, Pomerol and Saint Emilion wines are silky and balanced, thanks to Merlot grapes reaching maturity earlier. On the left bank, wines were closed and austere at the time, but promised excellent aging potential. Saint Julien wines are promising, Pauillac shows beautiful complexity, and Pessac Léognan displays nice finesse.

In Burgundy, some good red wines from Côte de Nuits and fresh white wines were produced.

For Champagne, the best wines are fresh, fruity and elegant, sometimes opulent. However, some slightly lacked acidity.

In the Rhône Valley, powerful and elegant wines, with superb Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas ready to drink now.
