The Bordeaux Vintage Report by Château Margaux: The 1899 and 1900, were a fabulous pair of vintages, matched later only by 1928-1929 and 1989-1990. The wine of 1899 was of remarkable quality but was a little overshadowed by 1900, which was right away more powerful and carried a more symbolic vintage year… Château Margaux 1899 is a wine of great harmony, extreme finesse and amazing freshness.

Weather
The summer was very dry. The cellar master noted at the time, "Hard summer. Excellent crop despite the drought. Good morning dews." (The picking began 21st September)

Bordeaux

Bordeaux: Harvest began on September 24th, and ushered in an excellent vintage, with wines of very high quality. Among the most exceptional wines of the year were Ausone, Lafite Rothschild, Latour and Haut-Brion, all of which aged well into the next century, a few still going strong today. The first Bordeaux trams began running this year, and King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway visited the Médoc, signing the guest book at Château Lafite Rothschild.
