Vintage & Style
1940 was a dramatic vintage, marked by military collapse, population displacement, and total disorganization of viticultural life. The weather was overall decent, but lack of labor and resources led to rushed and poorly handled harvests. Reds are light, simple, often unbalanced.

By Region
Burgundy: faint reds, brisk whites
Bordeaux: unstable, weakly structured
Rhône Valley: light and uneven
Loire: dry and acidic
Alsace: lean and strict
Champagne: subtle and quiet

Signature
