Year 1841 Wine

The 1841 vintage is marked by exceptional clarity and purity, particularly in Bordeaux, where the wines exhibit rich fruitiness and well-structured tannins. The cool growing season produced elegant, balanced wines that have aged gracefully, especially in the Left Bank. This vintage is often compared favorably to the robust 1838, highlighting its finesse. Interestingly, 1841 is notable for being the year when Château Lafite Rothschild was first classified, solidifying its reputation among the great estates.
