Lovely aromas of cherry, minerals (limestone) cherry flower and some hints of red licorice. Very bright nose and very lifted. Palate is juicy and acid driven with terrific energy and wonderful driving minerality. Slight reductive funk on the nose blows off very quickly. A pretty wine and drinking well now. Very tangy and fresh with pretty tannins that are ripe. Like many 17’s this is gorgeously skinny.

Glorious nose. I love this 1er Cru. Red or white. Gorgeous cherry fruit, licorice and spice. Alluring mineral. Floral. Beguiling and hypnotizing nose. Juicy and also structured and tannic with exquisite balance and purity. 17 is so good and correct. Red fruits galore and superb depth. Earthy sweetness and wonderful hint of that Monthelie earthiness. Love sap and length. Just an awesome wine.

With air nose comes alive! Wow. Sour cherry and insane cherry spice complexity. Perfumed. This is so good. Stunning sappy and sweet fruit.

Nose is stunning cherry lipstick. Deep and very clean.

Palate is fresh cherry juice. Maximally delicious. So fresh. Some glycerol. So clingy.

lingering finish.

Really good.
