Cornas took it on the chin yield-wise in 2017, Laure Colombo pointed out, “with lack of rain and hot weather issues, which cut yields way back,” though there was some beneficial rain at the very end of August and on the first few days of September, which freshened the fruit. Add to that the beneficial effect of “finally, some cool nights” and growers mostly dodged the bullet of overt ripe character in the final wines. Harvest began about two weeks ahead of normal, Colombo said, “the opposite of 2016, when we waited until the third week of September to start,” and the grapes were, obviously, fully ripe, with acidity on the low but not on the dangerous side.
