1996 in Champagne

From the first preparations for harvesting until the time when the figures in press log books were analysed and harvest declarations made, a general calm, a shared tranquillity, a sort of emotional serenity reigned supreme in Champagne in 1996. We witnessed a rapid succession of very contrasting periods which seemed to have been beneficial for the balanced growth of vegetation and grape clusters. The grapes and must from this harvest were of outstanding quality and produced some exceptional wines.
