Year 1918 Wine

The 1918 vintage was marked by exceptional richness and depth, particularly in Bordeaux, where ripe fruit and concentrated aromas emerged despite the challenges of wartime conditions. The northern Rhône produced some notably robust and fiery reds, while Burgundy showed elegance and finesse. Compared to other years, the 1918 vintage stands out for its complexity, reflecting both adversity and resilience. An interesting anecdote is that this vintage was celebrated by some as a symbol of hope during the post-war recovery.
