The 1917 vintage is a remarkable testament to resilience and quality, marked by a warm growing season that enhanced ripeness across key regions. Bordeaux thrived, producing robust Cabernet Sauvignon with deep black fruit flavors and velvety tannins. Burgundy also shone, showcasing elegant Pinot Noir, rich in cherry and earthy undertones. The balance of sun and rain delivered wines with both power and finesse, promising longevity and character that are still celebrated today.
