What are some good vintage years for wine?
Please don't forget to include the country and region.
Thank you!
Right now, in terms of what is available in wine shops, 2003 for France though the Rhone (Chateauneuf Du Pape especially), did better than Bordeaux and Burgundy, because of the incredibley hot summer they had. The heat made the Bordeaux wines end up in a jammy, California syle, if that is what you like. Burgundy's Pinot Noir really doesn't usually stand up as well to that much heat. Staying in France, '95 and '96 were great years for Champagne and are the years you are most likely to see on the shelves right now. Nothing on the market is better than the outsanding 1999 and 2001 vintages for Brunello. California and Australia tend to have much less variation from year to year, since their weather is much more consistant, though I would avoid 2000 for California; they had a cool season that didn't allow for full ripening. Other than Champagne, the only white wines for which vintage matters (to me, anyway) is Montrachet (2002 is what you want most) and Sauternes (2001- amazingly good).
