The 1836 vintage, marked by a mild growing season and fruitful harvest, produced remarkable wines primarily from Bordeaux and Burgundy. Exceptional ripeness led to aromatic reds showcasing flavors of ripe cherry, plum, and earthy notes. The year’s dry conditions ensured balanced acidity, resulting in wines with impressive aging potential. Many 1836 wines continue to impress with their complexity, delivering a rich tapestry of leather, tobacco, and dried fruit over time.
