1927 A. I. Perold Treat. Viticulture iii. 122 Bunches that have set badly and show a fairly large number of small seedless berries show the phenomenon known as Millerandage.

1976 R. J. Weaver Grape Growing iii. 26 Some varieties of clusters may set poorly and have many small, seedless berries that fail to enlarge, a condition known as millerandage.

1991 O. Clarke Webster's Wine Guide 1992 109/1 A little coulure or millérandage could have been an advantage in a year like 1982, when Grenache virtually flooded the valley.

1994 R. E. Smart in Oxf. Compan. Wine 623/1 Millerandage can cause a major loss of yield, especially where the proportion of small berries is high.
