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.
Notes of matchstick, pear, apple and a hint of exoticism appears in the form of white peach. The succulent, round and nicely vibrant flavors possess good energy on the supple and easy-going finish. This forward effort should drink well basically shortly after release.
