French Wine Vintage Charts & Harvest Reports

The vintage charts and harvest reports provided by the Wine Scholar Guild give you the ranking for main French wine regions and vintage from 2000 to today. Andrew Jefford, award-winning wine journalist and WSG Academic Advisor has compiled this information and written the vintage charts starting with the 2013 vintage.

Northern France

For a quick overview of the recent vintages in the Northern wine regions of France, please use the vintage charts below. 

More detailed vintage charts, including details on the growing seasons, harvest conditions style and character of the wines are avaiable for Alsace, Champagne, Loire, and Bourgogne. You can read about the growing season in Alsace and learn if Riesling and Pinot Gris were particularly successful. 

You can also read about white and red wines from the Loire and know which vintage of Muscadet, Sancerre, Anjou and Chinon was outstanding or challenging. Andrew Jefford is also providing a detailed Bourgogne vintage report with a focus on the wines and vintages of Chablis, Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuits and Mâconnais.

Southern France

For a quick overview of the recent vintages in the Southern wine regions of France, please use the vintage charts below. 

More detailed vintage charts, including details on the growing seasons, harvest conditions style and character of the wines are avaiable for Beaujolais, Rhône, Provence, Languedoc-Roussillon, Bordeaux and Sauternes. 

You can read about the growing season in Northern Rhône and the Southern Rhône and how it impacted the vintage for Crus like Cornas, Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage and Condrieu as well as for appelations and wines crafted from Grenache and Mourvèdre in the Southern Rhône. 

The Bordeaux vintage chart covers all the important Bordeaux appellations: Médoc, Graves, Pomerol, St. Emilion and Sauternes. It serves as a great source of information regarding Cabernet-based and Merlot-based reds and which are meant for early drinking vs. cellaring. 

And if you love Gamay and wonder about vintage Beaujolais, we identified vintages meant for early drinking and those best stashed in the cellar, like the Crus of Moulin à Vent & Morgon, to let them “pinote” or become Pinot Noir-like.
