Château D'Yquem
1931
A year with fairly regular weather until late June, but that went off the rails from July to September, with heavy rains and glacially cold temperatures, vine diseases, and even hail on the 6th of August. The rain stopped on the 18th of September, but only a barrels' worth of wine managed to reach 20° potential alcohol. Not a success, despite 39 days of intense work.
