CHAMPAGNE

Good body and style with elegance. Not big, but dry, clean wines which turned out

well.

Small in quantity and bad in quality. Nota very high-class wine. An excellent year. Wine of fine quality and ele

gance. A light wine,but rather elegant. Full-bodied. Light and elegant. A poor vintage. Delicate wines of good style. A useful but not high-class wine. Quality thin.

The best vintage of recent years. Wine very abundant and good. Good and sound. Fairly good quality. Wines thin, as the grapes had to gathered green

in wet weather. Better than the preceding year. Quality irregular. The wines are turning out well. 23
