Despite early, ominous signs of a frost-hit rerun of 2016 – and the mass burning of hay bales to avoid just that – 2017 dramatically changed course to become one of white Burgundy’s stars of the last decade.
Making full use of his ample knowledge and far-reaching connections, Jasper Morris MW delivers his evaluation of the year, digging around amongst the minutiae of the vintage, and casting his eye over the producers and appellations who thrived against the odds, not least Chablis which, while still badly bruised by a wave of frost, delivered one of the standout successes of an already lauded year.
