2011 Wine

Our opinion on the 2011 vintage: a contrasting but satisfactory vintage

The 2011 Bordeaux vintage was generally satisfactory, although not comparable to the brilliant 2010 and 2009. The 2011 vintage suffered from unpredictable weather with a dry winter and very hot spring. This resulted in an early harvest with lower yields. For Sauternes, the 2011 vintage was extremely good. The growing season was ideal, with perfect conditions for noble rot. The wines are intense, refined and aromatic, favoring elegance over opulence. In Burgundy, the 2011 vintage is good overall. Marked by drought, producers had to adapt to save the harvest. The Richebourg and Romanée-Saint-Vivant appellations still offer very great wines.

Benefiting from sunshine during September and October, most 2011 Rhône wines are good and have medium aging potential. Although the classic southern Rhône appellations did not reach their usual potential, interesting wines were produced, especially in the northern Rhône.

The 2011 champagnes are considered very successful and perfectly balanced. It is referred to as a very good vintage.

 

Our advice for buying a 2011 wine

In Bordeaux, some red wines managed to reveal rich tannins with a slight acidity, while the best whites were rich with a nice balanced acidity.

The 2011 Sauternes are excellent and have good aging potential.

In Burgundy, we recommend the white wines from Chablis, Mâconnais, and Côte de Beaune Meursault, which are particularly successful. The 2011 red wines are rather light this year.

Regarding the Rhône Valley, the reds, particularly Syrah, performed well with pure fruit and an elegant structure.
