Year 1792 Wine

The 1792 vintage is celebrated for its elegance and balance, particularly in Bordeaux, where the wines exhibited ripe fruit, harmonious structure, and poised acidity. This year marked a renaissance for the region, contrasted by the tumultuous events of the French Revolution. Interestingly, many wines from 1792 were mistakenly blended into later vintages, making pure examples rare today. In Burgundy, the vintage was lighter but showcased delicate terroir expression, differing significantly from the robust 1790 or the lush 1794.
