A very hot year with one of the greatest droughts of the century. In Bordeaux, it is an exceptional vintage with extraordinarily voluptuous, rich, and fruity wines.
Very certainly the year of the century for Sauternes, very sweet, and with a lot of sap, fat, and length on the palate.
The great wines of the 1929 vintage:
Exceptional wines: Château d'Yquem 1929, Château Climens 1929, Château Petrus 1929, Richebourg 1929 domaine de la Romanée Conti.
Excellent wines: Mission Haut Brion 1929, Mouton Rothschild 1929, Calon Ségur 1929, Canon 1929, Château Pontet Canet 1929.
