Sadly, a tainted bottle, bought at auction. Rich golden yellow colour, apparently more advanced than expected, with very subdued fruit on the nose and palate. Alcoholic, tired and emaciated. Faulty cork or bad storage would be my guess.

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. |
