The expectations on the 2017 harvest was high in Burgundy following the 2016 frost that destroyed a large part of last year's harvest. Winter 2016-2017 cold, in line with Burgundy's continental climate with alternating frosts and thaws allowing the earth to expand and to other micro-organism to be eliminated.
March saw some very mild temperatures, favouring a fast growth of the vine. However, the temperatures dropped in April 2017 with freezing temperatures late April. This time, all had anticipated the weather conditions and all vine-growers mobilized at sunrise to light straw fires which allowed the air to circulate and thereby avoid frost.
A mildly toasty nose displays plenty of matchstick and petrol characters that introduce sleek, delicious and more refined medium-bodied flavors that possess better depth and persistence on the vibrant, saline and agreeably dry finale. Good quality here.
