The 2002 Bordeaux vintage produced some very good wines and at great price points.
A mild winter transitioned into a cool spring but heavy rains caused flowering to be uneven. The summer failed to warm up and August arrived bringing downpours, Merlot found it particularly difficult to ripen. Fortunately, a wave of intense heat finally swept through late summer and continue through September and October. These balmier conditions were responsible for elevating the small harvest from being potentially poor to one of surprisingly high quality, although rigorous selection was still necessary.
The wines of the left bank generally performed better than those of the right and the wines from the Médoc were particularly good. The wines of St Emilion and Pomerol suffered more due to the greater percentage of Merlot in the blends and could be slightly green in character.
Much of 2002 Bordeaux offered good drinking for the midterm. For drinking now, look to the Médoc for some good options.
For Sauternes, the 2002 vintage was disappointing with little that stood out.
