Excuse me, everyone: Do Bordeaux wines pay attention to vintage? What is the best year in Bordeaux?

Not all Bordeaux wines need a vintage. For example, the most common AOC in Bordeaux is usually made from grapes from different vineyards. The quality control of this common and mass-produced commercial wine is to strive for uniform quality, and the influence of year can be basically ignored. For Bordeaux's top manor wines, the influence of year is more prominent.

Let's pay attention to the best year of Bordeaux, which is still in the drinking period:

The classic year of 1960s: 196 1, when latour got full marks.

A good year in the 1970s: the 1970s was average, and there was no classic year. 1970 was the best year in the 1970s. In those days, Latour and Mouton scored more than 90 points, Rafi scored only 85 points, while Margaux scored only 76 points.

Classic year of 1980s: 1982. 1982, more than half of Bordeaux's eight famous wineries got full marks of R.P., namely Lafite, Latour, Mouton, Botus and Baima. In addition, other famous wineries, such as Xiongshizhuang, Earl Bishang and Monastery Meirong, also got full marks of R.P. this year. It is very rare that so many wineries get full marks in the same year and are so widely distributed. Therefore, 82 is also called "the year of the century" in Bordeaux.

Classic year of 1990s: 1996. 1996, the left bank performed well, but the right bank was not as good as the left bank. All the top five on the left bank scored more than 90 points, Lafite scored 65,438+000 points, and latour and Margaux scored 99 points.

The first year after entering the new millennium: the millennium of 2000, which is the most classic year of the known new millennium, scored no less than 97, entered the top five, and Lafite and Margo scored 65,438+000. Bertus is also 100, and the beauty of the monastery in Graf on the left bank is also 100.

2003 was also a controversial "good" year. R.P. (robert parker, the most influential wine critic in the world today) scored very high, while J.R. (the most famous wine critic in Britain) scored relatively average.

The latest year that can be predicted is 2009. In Hong Kong, the whole box futures price of 12 bottles of 75CL Lafite has been speculated to be close to HK$ 600,000.
