Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé

Enologist Francois Millet, who has an impressively broad vocabulary for describing the nature of the fruit in each new Burgundy vintage, characterizes his young 2002s as having "jelly fruits, the liquid part of the jam.This gives sweetness but not heaviness, which offers a very good combination with the vintage's very fresh acidity.It's a vintage of happiness, where all the elements go together well."The estate carried out a less severe green harvest in July than they did with the copious 2000 vintage.In 2001, too, notes Millet, "we needed even more than usual to do a green harvest, in order to get phenolic ripeness and balanced acidity.This is a rational, more Cartesian vintage that doesn't have any fantasy," he concludes. Today, the acids are going against the current of the wines."The 2002s had been racked for the second time in October.(Dreyfus-Ashby & Co., New York, NY; Ideal Wines, Medford, MA; Barrique Wines, Chicago, IL; Chambers & Chambers, San Francisco, CA; The Wine Company, Minneapolis, MN, Vintner Select, Cincinnati, OH)
