1940
The vintage year 1940 could do in the Bordeaux wine cultivable area the confused the war put away quite well although the labour shortage as well as the lean capital resources gave no end of trouble the enterprises heavily. The profit only was the average, was the quality and is swaying strongly. The bottle variations are enormous, chateau Pichon Lalande, chateau Mouton Rothschild and Cheval Blanc, can be recommended. The bottles were filled in green, strange war bottles often.
A small port vintage year below average. Hardly finding. Usually not declared.
A weak year with the German winegrowers. Hardly a wine still might carry lives in himself here. Avoiding or trusting on a happy chance!
