BURGUNDY 2017

Clos Frantin.jpg

'very good, often excellent, and from time to time, bloody awesome'

 
We are delighted to offer the following 2017 Burgundy, a great selection of white and red wines from some highly revered Domaines.  A short introduction to each of the growers can be found below.  We will be adding more growers to the offer as they become available.
 
There is a lot to be excited about in this vintage and it's certainly worth serious attention. An excellent vintage for whites, 2017 is considered the best since 2014, with fleshy stone, orchard fruits and lively acidity married with great concentration and tension.
 
"there are some quite brilliant whites that, many growers are beginning to opine, equal or even surpass the haloed 2014s."
Neal Martin, Vinous
 

The 2017 vintage for reds is described as a “modern classic” with Burgundy’s trademark finesse, but no shortage of ripeness.  2017 is less extreme than either the 2015 (opulence) or 2016 (concentration) but the epitome of Burgundy,  with floral aromatics (violets, lavender) with hints of orange zest, followed by middleweight red and forest fruits supported by silky fine tannins, and fresh balanced acidity make them appealing over a wide drinking window.

"The 2017 reds are very good, often excellent, and from time to time, bloody awesome"
Neal Martin, Vinous

"when the 2017s are good, they are very good (even sometimes great) and entirely classic in style... the 2017s deserve a place in your cellars and there is no reason not to buy what you can afford."
Allen Meadows, Burghound
