1997 White Burgundy: an upside-down vintage

Article Abstract:

The 1997 vintage of white Burgundies does not match the quality of the 1996 and 1995 vintages, but has yielded many enjoyable wines. Chablis and Macon regions fared much better than Cote D'Or. Vocoret & Fils Chablis Montmains and Joseph Drouhin Rully White were among the best 1997 values.
