🏰 The 1990 vintage in Burgundy was a standout year, considered one of the most successful, arguably the finest for reds between 1978 and 1999. The summer was hot and dry, with significant rain in late August and early September, leading to a large crop of small, concentrated berries. The reds from 1990 are beautifully balanced with deep, rich fruit, good tannins, and weight, celebrated for their intensity and structure. While some found the style almost Californian due to its richness, the best wines offer a delightful clarity of expression with seductive tenderness over a firm structure. 【 Standout Burgundy vintage for reds 】 🍴 Echezeaux Grand Cru, with its rich fruit and complex profile, pairs wonderfully with classic Burgundian dishes.
