Allen Meadows 91-93/100 | Drink: 2032+. Producer note: Jean-Nicolas Méo describes 2017 as "one where we enjoyed a relatively tranquil growing season where we had no climatic issues save for around 30 mm of rain that fell near the end of August that had the effect of swelling the berries. We chose to begin picking on the 6th of September and brought in ripe and clean fruit. Yields were relatively generous for us as most wines ranged from 38 to 42 hl/ha and this was despite having done a green harvest. My take on the style and quality is that the 2017s are like more interesting versions of the 2007s. They're charming and delicious and while 2017 is not a great vintage, it's more than correct plus I think it should drink well young." Tasting note: Moderately generous wood surrounds the very fresh aromas of essence of red and dark raspberry that are laced with notes of spice, herbal tea, violet and a whiff of wood. The racy, intense and overtly mineral-driven medium weight flavors possess excellent delineation on the notably austere and very tightly wound finish. This has very fine upside development potential and will need extended patience to flesh out and harmonize.
