Fans of Burgaud’s traditionally elegant Côte-Rôtie (the only wine that he makes) will likely find his 2017 bottling to be an anomaly given its weight and velvety texture. The same can be said for the 2016 and 2015 as well. The warmth of recent vintages and riper fruit are no doubt the major reasons for this slight turn of style as the winemaking hasn’t changed. All de-stemmed fruit, Syrah only, the use of 600 litre demi-muids, 15% to 20% renewed each year, have always been the rules here. No matter the reason, the 2017 is definitely the most fruit-forward, even opulent, and decidedly polished young wine that I can recall tasting here since the 1988, which I tried on my first visit in 1989.
