Year 1939 Wine

The 1939 vintage is often characterized as a highly regarded year, marked by a warm growing season that produced ripe, concentrated wines. Regions such as Bordeaux delivered elegant reds with depth, while Burgundy's finesse shone through. Compared to its immediate predecessors, 1939 offered a remarkable balance of acidity and fruit. Interestingly, this vintage coincides with the onset of World War II, leading to many bottles being laid down and now celebrated as treasures from a tumultuous time.
