2017 gave highly expressive wines, with bright aromatics and freshness, yet built with the dry extract and glycerol necessary for age-able wines. The winter of 2017 in Provence was mild, with rains in March and April resupplying the water tables, ensuring the good growth of the vine. After May, the weather was much warmer and drier than usual, which favored vineyards like Cibonne's with clay soils and old vines, which did not suffer from hydric stress. A powerful mistral helped maintain the overall good health of the vineyards.
