Vincent Geantet described 2017 as a "relatively easy vintage to manage once we got past a late April frost scare. The summer was largely dry and warm without too much of either. Yields were good without being too high and thus we waited until the 16th of September to pick, indeed in many of our parcels we were completely alone. We didn't finish until the 1st of October as conditions were clement and thus there was no rush to finish. The fruit was pretty much spotless and we averaged 44 hl/ha with excellent maturities and nothing was chaptalized.
