Vintages The 1935 vintage by Julie Berteloot 20 January 2025 20 January 2025 106 views 106 The quality of the 1935 vintage is quite honourable, although it does not make the same impression as the inevitable 1934 and the arrival of the war at the time of bottling. Discover the 1935 wines in stock Bordeaux The 1935 vintage was uneven but still abundant. The summer was hot and dry and the month of September was very humid. It left little impression. In Sauternes, the vintage was rare but very good. Nevertheless, it was bottled just before the outbreak of war, hence its current rarity. The producer Pierre Larrieu remembers that the cows were thin. The harvest was sold later and rather cheaply. Bourgogne The 1935 vintage is rather good overall, even if it does not attract attention with the arrival of the war. The quality of the grapes is excellent, as are the whites. This vintage is also rare in Burgundy. Champagne Only the Roederer house produced a champagne in 1935. All the other houses preferred not to produce, even though the year was worthy of the great vintage champagnes. Jean Hugel’s tasting memory He has been a winegrower in Riquewihr like his ancestors since 1639. “(…) if 1934 proved to be a great vintage throughout France, 1935 was especially so for the Alsatian vineyard (…) It shows no sign of maderization, the primary floral aromas have given way to deliciously complex and always lively notes.” Creation of AOCs The National Committee of Appellations of Origin was created on July 30, 1935 to combat fraud, overproduction, conflicts over vineyard boundaries and problems of poor sales. It is composed of merchants, winegrowers and representatives of the Ministries of Agriculture, Justice and Finance. The committee defines the production area, the choice of grape varieties, the maximum yield per hectare, the sugar content, the minimum alcoholic strength of the musts and the cultivation and winemaking processes. The Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) guarantees the authenticity and quality of a wine. our selection Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue 1935 Musigny Grand Cru Bourgogne discover Château Filhot 1935 Sauternes Bordeaux discover 0 comments 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail You may also like… The 2009 vintage 6 January 2025 The 1947 vintage 14 December 2024 Focus on the 1967 vintage – Bordeaux 3 December 2024 The 1965 vintage 29 November 2024 The 1955 vintage 21 November 2024 The 1954 vintage, a contrasting vintage 12 November 2024 The 1959 vintage 6 November 2024 The 1995 vintage 25 October 2024 The 2001 vintage 22 October 2024 The 1989 vintage: the year of all celebrations 30 September 2024
