Having observed Bordeaux for many years now, I think the 2021 vintage is one of the most fascinating. The complexities of the growing season, the surprising quality of the wines, market sentiment, possible media friction and the geo-political scene all conspire to make this year’s primeur campaign unpredictable. This will inevitably lead to controversy and polarised opinions. But for those who love Bordeaux, 2021 will be remembered as a classic year and many of the wines will develop beautifully.
