Vintage 1997

1997 VINTAGE in Burgundy

The exciting Burgundy vintage in 1997 is regarded as having produced some of the most charming wines in living memory. The whites are notable for their richness and balance. Full, elegant and well bred, they are for great short to medium term drinking pleasure.

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle and in an perfect condition. Colour is cherry red, and looking healthy and medium. On the nose it is seductive and complex. The taste is voluptuous, fresh, round, elegant, and dry, warming, with medium tannin, and average in acidity, medium-bodied, with perfectly balanced structure and mature. On the palate it is layered and has earthy, blackcurrant, spice, mineral, tobacco and leather flavours. The finish is long and spicy. This wine is impressive. I paid around 100-200€ a bottle. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 45min before tasting. Good value for money. I do recommend.
