Vintage & Style
1950 was a mixed vintage: sometimes classical, sometimes austere. Spring came late, summer was cool, but a better autumn salvaged certain reds. The best wines show balance and finesse, though without great concentration. Whites are fresh and nervy, but often lack length. A selective vintage, successful only in well-exposed terroirs.

By Region
Burgundy: sober reds, taut whites
Bordeaux: elegant but uneven
Rhône Valley: better in the north
Loire: dry whites, green reds
Alsace: fine and discreet
Champagne: acidic and precise

To Know

Signature
