Wine 1944
The year 1944 was a tragic year for many wineries in Bordeaux. German troops occupied the areas of cultivation, searching for protection from the incoming invasion. On the wine field there was open fire. France was free in the late fall of 1944, for which the harvest brought a big share of wine.
Only a few of the bottles remained intact. As of today, there can be found only individual exemplars of good wines of 1944. Every bottle is therefore irreplaceable. ... Sometimes the wineries didn’t have the usual bottles so they had to substitute them with bottles of clear glass. Also the corks of wines of the wartime are shorter than usual.

Wine vertical
A bottle of wine of the war year 1944 is a rarity and unique finding. The taste of the wine, which is defined by its old age, can be on the limit of enjoyment for some. Therefore, an interesting alternative to buying a wine as old as ones anniversary, can be to recreate the years of the jubilee with three younger wine bottles, which together are as old. The tasting of the years through single steps is a charming present for any wine lover. Wine experts love these kind of vertical wine tastings: they emphasize the different phases of these valuable wines, and how their color and taste both change when ripening.

For the vertical tasting of the 1944 vintage - three wines from classic growing regions. The age of 80 years can be calculated from the three vintages compiled here.
1988 = 36 years + 1995 = 29 years + 2009 = 15 years = a total of 70 years and three excellent individual vintages!
Tasting the past years step by step is a charming gift for a wine lover. The selected vintages also represent a review of the formative periods of the jubilarian's life. The age of the 1944 vintage - 80 years - is the sum of the ages of the three individual vintages.
Here, for example: the vertical for the 1944 vintage in 2024 with a total of 80-year-old famous wines:
1988 Chateau Larmande Grand Cru Classé Saint Emilion = 36 years old
1995 Barolo Ginestra Paolo Conterno 29 years old
2009 Trittenheimer Felsenkopf Riesling Spätlese, Milz, Laurentiushof = 15 years old
36+29+15 years old = 80th anniversary - Germany, France, Italy
Very old wines from the 1944 vintage, if they are very well preserved and still drinkable, have an exorbitant price. And they are less suited to being drunk by the glass in the classic way, but rather unfold their charm when tasted in homeopathic doses - in other words, a few sips. Mature wines from the 80s - 90s, on the other hand, are very well suited to real tasting, real drinking.
