Domaine de Courcel

Yves Confuron complained that there are "too many pretty, light 2012s that don't deserve their high prices. Too many wines are from fruit that was picked too early: you'll drink them tonight and piss them tomorrow." Confuron, who harvests very late (he started on September 30 in 2012, and on October 14 in 2013) because he vinifies entirely with whole clusters and needs them to be fully ripe, added that it was necessary to have good tannins in 2012 "to energize the wines." The pHs here were in the 3.7 to 3.8 range in 2012, as in 2011. Incidentally, Confuron told me that the estate's 2011s have closed up in bottle. "The wines have similar precision to the 2010s but more middle. The 2012s are higher in skin ripeness but have less energy. They're rich, in a rather southern style of pinot, but not jammy."
