Vintage 1928

Burgundy / Fine and fragrant. Some great wines, long-lived and still excellent.  Spring started well and hopes were high until May frost in Chablis and later on serious hail in the Côte de Nuits severely reduced the crop size. The summer that followed was hot. Harvest started in early October. The better terroirs in the Côte de Beaune in particular made great wines. As in Bordeaux, the 1928 Burgundies are sturdier compared to the 1929s.

Burgundy 1928 Reds: The red wines of Burgundy from the 1928 vintage have a reputation for being wines of modest quality. These wines are characterized by their aged appearance and relatively limited aging potential.

Appearance: The 1928 Burgundy reds typically exhibit a brick-red to amber color, reflecting their considerable age.

Nose: On the nose, the 1928 Burgundy reds offer aromas of dried red fruits, forest floor, and earthy notes. While they lack the vibrancy of wines from more exceptional vintages, they still possess a certain charm.

Palate: In the mouth, the 1928 Burgundy reds are marked by their delicate and often resolved tannins. The acidity levels can vary, but the wines tend to be lighter in body and lack the depth and concentration found in more outstanding Burgundy vintages. Flavors of dried cherries and subtle herbal elements can be detected.

Overall Impressions: The Burgundy 1928 vintage is generally regarded as a modest vintage in terms of wine quality. The challenging weather conditions during the growing season resulted in wines that lack the complexity and aging potential of Burgundy's finest years.
