Year 1889 Wine

The 1889 vintage was remarkable, marked by an ideal growing season with a warm, dry summer followed by a mild autumn. This climate fostered uniformly ripe grapes, resulting in wines of exceptional quality. Bordeaux's Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot flourished, showcasing rich, bold flavors of dark fruits, tobacco, and earthy undertones. Burgundy's pinot noir also shone, with vibrant red berry notes. Overall, a classic vintage that promised longevity and depth.
