    Contrasting Climatic Conditions and Complete Maturation

    The Côte de Nuits was marked by contrasting climatic conditions, with an early spring followed by a capricious summer, but an ideal late season allowing for slow and complete grape maturation.

    After a cold and dry winter, temperatures rose rapidly in late March, triggering a very early budbreak of the vine. In late April, a few morning frosts impacted some parcels, particularly in the sectors of Gevrey-Chambertin and Morey-Saint-Denis.

    Flowering occurred from the last days of May, in a very short time. The summer then alternated between heatwaves and cooler periods, with very heterogeneous precipitation depending on the sectors.

    Red Wines

    The 2017 red wines from the Côte de Nuits are distinguished by their great elegance, with silky tannins and superb aromatic freshness focused on red and black fruits. The terroirs of Vosne-Romanée, Gevrey-Chambertin, and the best Premier Crus of Nuits-Saint-Georges are particularly successful.
