1918

Bordeaux: Good. Wines of a beautiful color, a rather good corpulence, but missing a little of flexibility. Can still be very attractive.

Meteorological data: beautiful spring, summer without extreme temperatures. Wholesome rains in fine August.

State of the grape harvests: 

Date: at the beginning of October.

Quality: healthy grapes.

Burgundy: End of World War I with the signing of the Armistice on 11 November.

Fine spring weather resulted in an even flowering. The summer passed by with good warm temperatures without any excesses. September was fairly cool so the harvest was delayed to early October in order to wait for full ripeness. Rarely seen these days.
