Vintage & Style
1949 was a truly great vintage: elegant, noble, and remarkably balanced. A warm summer followed by a superb autumn led to perfect ripeness at harvest. Reds are silky, complex, and fine, with discreet yet lasting structure. Whites are pure and balanced, showing clarity and freshness. A vintage of charm and depth, still vibrant in the finest bottles.
