In Bordeaux and Burgundy, there is no post-war vintage that enjoys the reputation of 1945.

The best wines, and there are still many, can perfectly be kept for another 15 to 20 years.

On the other hand, the downside is that the red Bordeaux wines of the 1945 vintage are the most expensive and overrated of the century.

The great wines of the 1945 vintage:

Extraordinary wines: Château Haut Brion 1945, Château Lafleur 1945, Château Mouton Rothschild 1945, Vieux Château Certan 1945

Exceptional wines: Château Leoville Barton 1945, Château Petrus 1945, Eglise Clinet 1945, Château Palmer 1945, Gruaud Larose 1945.

Excellent wines: Château Talbot 1945, La Mission Haut Brion 1945, Pontet Canet 1945, Château Lynch Bages 1945, Château Latour 1945, Château Trotanoy 1945.
