White Burgundy - 1928

Overall quality of the vintage: excellent. Firm, fine wines. Good ageing potential: if properly kept, the 1928 whites can still be excellent, particularly the Meursault.

Red Bordeaux - 1928

Bordeaux White - 1928

Overall quality of the vintage: excellent. The best vintage of the decade for dry whites, and the one that has held up best. Firm, full and complete wines, including a nice acidity.

Sweet Bordeaux - 1928

Champagne - 1928

Alsace - 1928

Not even the oldest winegrowers can recall seeing such quantities.  Moreover, for the first time in a long time, yields are finally proving acceptable, if not outstanding. This turnaround prompted Les Vins d'Alsace magazine to rhapsodise: "we paid fabulous prices for these great wines, because they are of a rare and exquisite quality, worthy of being placed in the sanctuaries of each of our national gourmets!"

Loire - 1928

Superb vintage, especially for the Quarts de Chaumes. The very good sunshine gives rise to some deliciously distinctive semi-dry wines in Vouvray. For the white Anjous, it is generally a good year, with wines of little colouring, fine and very fresh.
