Right Bank Bordeaux drinkers will delight in the 2017 vintage; there’s widespread acclaim for 2017 wines from the best vineyard sites, and HDH has them in stock! Antonio Galloni hails Saint-Émilion’s 2017 Château Pavie as “striking,” while James Suckling details the vintage at Château Trotanoy in Pomerol as exuding “poise and precision, in every aspect of the wine’s composition.”
Similarly, premium sites across the Left Bank, and particularly those with higher elevations, escaped early spring frosts seen in lower-lying areas. Combined with a careful harvest and meticulous sorting, these successful 2017 wines deserve special focus, especially the Saint-Estèphe pillars Château Cos d’Estournel and Château Montrose.
Perennial powerhouses Châteaux Margaux, Palmer, and Haut-Brion to the south also garnered top scores for the vintage. With additional time in cellar awaiting transit to the US, these 2017s are a fantastic opportunity for enthusiasts of younger Bordeaux and collectors alike.
