1984 vintage guide for White Burgundy

drink now

Small, average vintage with excess acidity and relatively little fruit

2/5

Weather Conditions

Spring was cool and damp and the flowering was delayed as a result. The weather improved by the start of summer, and July was warm and sunny. August, however, saw a number of thunderstorms, and conditions deteriorated further in September, which was extremely wet. The late harvest produced a poor crop of acidic grapes.

Best Appellations

Just as bad a white wine vintage as a red one. Clean but unripe lean wines. Now well past it. Ignore.
