Year 1826 Wine

The 1826 vintage was marked by a protracted Indian summer, yielding ripe grapes with rich, concentrated flavors, particularly in Bordeaux and Burgundy. The wines are characterized by their robust structure and deep color, often exhibiting notes of dark fruits and spice. This vintage is comparable to the illustrious 1825, yet some claim it has aged even more gracefully. Interestingly, 1826 was a year of significant political change in Britain, and these wines often reflect the tumultuous spirit of the times.
