    2017

    Contrasting Weather Conditions and Quality Wines

    The 2017 vintage experienced contrasting weather conditions throughout the year in the Côte de Beaune.

    The spring was marked by late frosts on April 18 and 19, damaging some buds and impacting yields, particularly on young vines.

    The summer was then dry and hot with several heatwaves in July and August. This summer drought caused water stress for the vines, slowing grape maturation.

    Red Wines

    The 2017 red wines from the Côte de Beaune are distinguished by their intense color and gourmand nose of fresh red fruits and sweet spices. On the palate, they are silky wines with melted tannins, offering great concentration and finesse.
