Clear bright ruby colour. Red to purple fruits in the bouquet, raspberry, red cherry, but also floral. Elegant though not intense, a little quiet. Pepper and leather in the background. In the mouth, soft and easy to drink, fruity, not much in terms of tannins. Only slightly drying. The acidity is there but subtle. Still youthful, middleweight, made for early drinking.
I don't know this for a fact, but Jadot may have opted to do only little crop thinning (vendage verte) in 2017. This would have resulted in greater volumes at harvest and would have been an understandable decision after the difficult years that preceded the vintage. It would also explain the low concentration of this wine.
Drink through 2025.

2017 Good volumes with generally good quality. I've had some superb whites from this vintage. Not much risk in terms of either frost or hail, unlike in many of the previous vintages. Some producers may have harvested too much in red, having done little vendage verte (crop thinning), making for slightly low concentrations in their Pinots. |
