Vintage & Style
1941 was a difficult vintage, born in the midst of war, with unstable weather and very limited resources. Spring was cool, summer erratic and sometimes stormy, and harvest was rushed. Reds are thin, herbal, and weakly structured. Whites are taut and dry, often lacking ripeness. A vintage shaped by hardship, with few wines of distinction.

By Region
Burgundy: herbal reds, acidic whites
Bordeaux: austere and lightly extracted
Rhône Valley: green and light-bodied
Loire: brisk but lacking charm
Alsace: lean and strict
Champagne: bright and lean

To Know
1941 is more about survival than great wine. Few bottles remain, and those that do are more historical artifacts than pleasures.

Signature
1941 expresses constrained sobriety: lean, serious wines born of scarcity.
