Create an alert

The 1947 wine remains a legendary vintage, marked by exceptional heat and perfect ripeness of the grapes. With a late and favourable spring and an almost tropical summer, the 1947 wines from Bordeaux are excellent. Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, Margaux, Pauillac, Pessac-Léognan – stand out for their richness and smoothness, whilst the sweet wines from Barsac and Sauternes offer full-bodied, rich and sumptuous wines.
In Burgundy the climatic conditions are excellent but the harvests are nevertheless not very abundant. The Corton, Grands-Échezeaux, Richebourg and Vosne-Romanée deliver powerful and sensual 1947 wines. The Loire 1947, from Vouvray to Chinon, shines with its balance. In Champagne, the 1947 wine is charming, and in the Rhône, the Hermitage 1947 radiate with unforgettable solar intensity.

Wine 1947 and grand crus from 1947, a living legend of French wine

The 1947 wine remains a myth in oenological history: a year marked by extreme conditions, rare maturity and wines of 1947 of rarely equalled power. From the first rays of summer, the heat settled in durably, accelerating the ripening of the grapes whilst accentuating water stress. The harvest, in certain regions such as Champagne, began as early as 5th September, an exceptionally early date to express the potential of this unique year.
Over the course of ageing, the wine of 1947 can today be capricious: volatility, progressive fatigue or slight aromatic alterations are not incompatible with time. Nevertheless, under the most rigorous storage conditions, the great wine of 1947 continues to surprise.
