Top critics’ praise for the 2017 Burgundy vintage:
“In some ways, the 2017s are ‘default’ wines. After the trials and tribulations of recent years, this season often reminds me what these multitudinous climats should taste like. As nearly every winemaker opined, 2017 is a vintage that distinguishes one vineyard and/or one terroir from another with satisfying clarity. The growing season did not leave such a heavy imprimatur upon the wines as others, including 2015 and 2016. Wines are governed more by the DNA of each vineyard and then sculpted by winemakers’ decisions.” –Neal Martin, Vinous
“The 2017 is a much more homogeneous and classical vintage than 2016… the wines display a generous, sun-kissed quality without attaining the extremes of ripeness, concentration and extract found in 2015.” –William Kelley, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
“A lovely vintage north to south: wines singing their heart out… The producers might well have been singing too, so happy were they to have returned to ‘normal’ yields, particularly after the terrible frost-created shortfalls of 2016. The phrase that came to my mind many times while I was tasting was ‘true to type’ for it’s a vintage that has produced fragrant, finely structured wines that are likely to be ready to drink earlier than the 2016s but have the balance and the depth to age well, certainly over the medium term.” – Julia Harding, MW, JancisRobinson.com
Hoping that we see you there!
