1940

Very cold, wet weather throughout the vegetative cycle, except the month of August which was dry. A first pass brought in excellent grapes from 30/9 au 9/10. Unfortunately, relentless rain thereafter definitively ruined the rest of the crop and the vintage drew to a halt on 6/11. Very little wine was produced, but those grapes that were picked and carefully sorted made with a great deal of finesse.
