Year 1896 Wine

The 1896 vintage is a remarkable testament to excellence, marked by a warm growing season that produced rich, ripe wines. Exceptional Bordeaux showcased lush blackberry and plum flavors, while Burgundy delivered elegant reds with bright cherry notes and earthy undertones. The dry weather allowed for optimal grape maturation, leading to full-bodied, balanced wines that age gracefully. Notably, Sauternes thrived, offering sumptuous nectars infused with honeyed apricot and spice. A vintage not to be missed!
