How good is the 1995 vintage?

Overall, this was a very good vintage, under-rated in its early years. However, the investors at the time were rewarded by the increase in quality of the vintage after fifteen years or so! The wine opened up, reminding even the greatest connoisseurs that the 1995 needed time to become a great wine.

 

• 1995 Rhône vintage rating: 5/5

Exceptional vintage. Hermitage is at an elite level for this vintage. Don't forget the great wines of the Côte-Rôtie appellation! Powerful, tannic red wines. Some wines are comparable to the great 1990. There are also some excellent Gigondas wines in this vintage.

 

• 1995 Bordeaux vintage rating: 4/5

Bordeaux enjoyed a very good 1995 vintage. The great wines are filling out wonderfully with a fleshy richness that was perhaps lacking in their youth. As they mature, they become increasingly interesting and worth buying. At twenty years of age, they really begin to express themselves and have become a very interesting proposition.

 

• Rating of the 1995 vintage in Burgundy: 4/5

A small, high-quality harvest for long ageing. As in 1985, the acidity of the white wines is hidden behind the ripe fruit. Early frost and cool weather in June considerably reduced the size of the 1995 harvest. July and August were clear, dry and warm, but cooler conditions arrived in September, bringing showers and overcast skies. Fortunately, the rains were more scattered and did not cause as much damage as in 1994. The harvest took place in cool but dry weather. Careful selection was essential. The 1995 wines showed great potential in barrel, with silky tannins and good acidity giving the wines a soft mouthfeel. Very attractive white wines, with a creamy structure balanced by fine acidity.
