Red Burgundy - 1938

Red Bordeaux - 1938

White Bordeaux - 1938

Syrupy Bordeaux - 1938

Champagne - 1938

Vintage wines at Roederer only, wines are characterized by very high yields. The vineyard underwent infringements of shatter and millerandage.

A poor year.

Though by no means unforgettable, the year nevertheless produced some very presentable demi-sec wines, in particular in Vouvray and Montlouis. This was the first time Montlouis had produced a vintage under its own name, as until then it had enjoyed the right to label its wines as Vouvray. The two rivals shared the same terroir, but not the same reputation, at least in those days.

White Alsace - 1938

A small harvest devastated by the cold.
