Region 'Vintage Champagne' - Year 1983

Rating	Drinkability	Style
	drink soon	A good and reliable year rather overshadowed by the success of 1982

Weather Conditions

Winter was harsh, and conditions did not improve much in spring, which was cold and damp. As a result, flowering was late, although when it did take place it did so under ideal conditions. The sunny, warm weather continued throughout much of the summer, although enough rain fell to prevent the crop from drying out. Rain – and the temperature – fell at the start of September, but conditions picked up in time for the harvest at the end of the month/beginning of October.
