Overall quality of the vintage: good.

Syrupy Bordeaux - 1988

Champagne - 1988

White Alsace - 1988

All or nothing: the wettest autumn for 170 years, followed by the sunniest November in 170 years. Result: some magnificent Sélections de Grains Nobles, like Seppi Landmann's Gewurtzraminer Zinnkoepflé, raisined until it acquires notes of pineapple and rum.

Rhone Valley - 1988

One of the vintages of the century, so alluring is its finesse (especially in the north). Charming and well rounded in red, elegant in white (Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray), its qualities have earned it lasting love and appreciation.
