Vintage & Style
1958 was a difficult, cool, and late vintage. Spring was cold, summer lacked sunshine, and harvests were delayed, often under rain. Red wines are under-ripe, light, acidic, and low in structure. Whites performed better, showing freshness and clarity in northern regions. Overall, a weak vintage with a few exceptions among dry whites.

By Region
Burgundy: thin reds, fresh whites
Bordeaux: weak and vegetal
Rhône Valley: strict north, muted south
Loire: brisk whites, very green reds
Alsace: dry, slightly lean
Champagne: acidic, lacks breadth

To Know
