1995

Our view on the 1995 vintage

A very fine 1995 vintage for Bordeaux wines (harvestlarge in volume) , marked by a very hot period from June to August, followed by a 10 day rainy episode in September. The Pomerol, Saint Julien and Pauillac designations were less watered. Then good weather, which allowed to harvest beautiful mature Cabernets Sauvignon. Consequently, the wines of 1995 are particularly successful in the following designations: 1995 Pauillac, 1995 Pessac Leognan red, 1995 Pomerol, 1995 Saint Emilion and 1995 Saint Julien. Are also successful all the 1ers Crus Classes in the Medoc (left bank). In 1995 white Bordeaux wine the vintage is more heterogeneous, and can be considered as fairly average for 1995 Sauternes. An early and good year for 1995 Burgundy, but having produced a limited volume of grapes, which allows the 1995 red wines from the Cote de Nuits to be supple but structured, and the white wines from 1995 in the Cote de Beaune, to be sufficiently concentrated and rich to be preserved (watch out however for the premature oxidation of certain whites sometimes). In Champagne, the Chardonnays from 1995 are very balanced, lively and of good aging potential. As far as Rhone wines are concerned, Syrah has an advantage: beautiful 1995 Cote Rotie and superb 1995 Cornas. The 1995 vintage is warmer in Southern Rhone, but the wines can be kept for a long time. The wines are attractive in Loire (the reds are to be kept) and 1995 is the first vintage of a magic trilogy for the sweet white wines from Loire (1995/1996/1997). The 1995 Rieslings from Alsace are on call, thanks to their superb acidity. We can note that in 1995, in the South West of France, Madiran wines deserve a special mention.
