Wine 1999 Bordeaux

The 1999 vintage from Bordeaux is a hidden treasure in the world of great wines, often overlooked due to its proximity to the celebrated 2000 vintage. Yet, this year produced wines of surprising sophistication and appeal, thanks to the resilience of Bordeaux's finest producers. Despite a challenging growing season marked by rain, hail, and a spectacular hurricane, competent vineyard management and modern winemaking techniques transformed potential adversity into opportunity. The result is wines that are accessible yet worthy of ageing, displaying vibrant fruit, fine tannins, and fresh acidity. From the structured reds of the Médoc to the silky wines of the Right Bank, through the honeyed delights of Sauternes, the 1999 Bordeaux vintage stands as a testament to the region's excellence. For those looking to purchase 1999 Bordeaux wines, this vintage promises both immediate pleasure and longer-term potential.

Weather conditions of the 1999 vintage

The 1999 growing season in Bordeaux was anything but predictable, making the quality of the final wines all the more impressive. It all began with a fierce hurricane in late December 1998, with winds exceeding 190 km/h that swept through the region. Although the vines largely escaped damage, the tone was set for a year marked by dramatic weather variations. A mild winter gave way to a warm, humid spring, requiring careful treatments to protect against rot. Flowering, which occurred early in late May and early June under favorable conditions, raised hopes for a promising harvest. Summer offered a mix of hot, dry days in June and July, followed by heavy rains in early August that swelled the grapes. A brief period of sunshine in late August renewed hope, concentrating sugars and aromas, but September brought a double blow: devastating hail on September 5 ravaged parts of Saint-Émilion, while persistent rains diluted yields throughout the region. Despite these challenges, producers who meticulously planned their harvests and leveraged advanced winemaking practices crafted wines of remarkable quality. This resilience makes the 1999 Bordeaux vintage a benchmark for those seeking unique, well-crafted wines.

Left Bank

Bordeaux's Left Bank, comprising the Médoc and Pessac-Léognan, shines in the 1999 vintage, offering reds and whites of elegance and structure. The region benefited from favorable weather until late September, allowing Cabernet Sauvignon to ripen before rains led to some dilution. These 1999 Bordeaux wines stand out for their fresh acidity, fine tannins, and vibrant fruit, reminiscent of the charming 1985 vintage. Château Margaux stands out with a magnificent wine, praised for its balance and depth, while Château Latour and Château Haut-Brion deliver refined power and complexity. Château Palmer, in Margaux, also excels, producing a wine with early charm that could rival the 2000 vintage. In Pessac-Léognan, dry whites, such as those from Château Smith Haut Lafitte and Château Pape Clément, impress with their aromatic freshness, lively acidity, and mineral finesse. Ready to drink now while still having potential for evolution, these Left Bank choices make the 1999 Bordeaux vintage an appealing option for buyers seeking quality and value.

Right Bank

On the Right Bank, Pomerol and Saint-Émilion produced some of the most charming wines of the 1999 Bordeaux vintage, combining ripe fruit and silky textures. Despite hail that devastated parts of Saint-Émilion on September 5, producers who harvested early or avoided the worst of the damage crafted exceptional bottles. Château Pétrus, in Pomerol, leads the way with a wine of supple fruit and aromatic complexity, while Château La Conseillante offers a silky, accessible profile. In Saint-Émilion, Château Ausone stands out with a strong, assertive wine that balances richness and finesse, reminiscent of the successful 1989 vintage. Château Cheval Blanc also shines, offering elegance and moderate aging potential. These Right Bank wines are perfect for those who appreciate immediate pleasure combined with the promise of future rewards, making them a smart addition to any collection. When you buy 1999 Right Bank Bordeaux, you're investing in wines that embody both resilience and reward.

Sauternes: sweet wines from the 1999 vintage

The sweet wines of Sauternes and Barsac from the 1999 Bordeaux vintage are a triumph of selective harvesting and skilled winemaking. A challenging season saw uneven botrytis development, but producers who focused on the richest, earliest-harvested grapes created wines of remarkable quality. These 1999 sweet Bordeaux wines feature intensely honeyed fruit, lively acidity, and a luxurious, balanced profile, reminiscent of the elegant 1988 vintage. Château d'Yquem reigns supreme with a highly sought-after wine that promises decades of evolution, while Château Suduiraut offers a reliable, age-worthy option with lush complexity. The rarity of top-tier bottles, due to meticulous grape selection, enhances their appeal to collectors and investors. Whether you enjoy them now or cellar them for years to come, these Sauternes wines elevate the 1999 vintage through their opulent charm and enduring appeal.

Critics' Reviews

The Wine Advocate Vintage Guide offers glowing perspectives on the 1999 Bordeaux vintage, affirming its status as a vintage of above average to excellent quality in the main regions. Barsac and Sauternes earn a rating of 88E, praised for accessible, ready-to-drink sweet wines. Graves and Pessac-Léognan receive an 88R rating, with ready-to-drink reds and whites that stand out for their finesse. Margaux earns an 89R rating, reflecting its remarkable reds, while Pomerol and Saint-Émilion both reach 88R, highlighting their accessible yet age-worthy profiles. The Médoc trio of Saint-Julien, Pauillac, and Saint-Estèphe also earn 88R, with wines noted for their balance and potential. Robert Parker's evaluations reflect this positivity, highlighting Château Ausone and Château Palmer as major players, combining charm and character. These wine ratings confirm the 1999 Bordeaux vintage's ability to deliver quality despite challenges, making it a worthy choice for your next purchase.

Why buy 1999 Bordeaux wines?
