The 2005s were finished by winemaker Nicolas Morlet, who took over from his brother Luc in the spring of 2006. I tasted with both Morlets in March. There's a continuity of style here (no surprise) and the emphasis continues to be on strongly mineral, structured wines with rare aromatic intensity. Nic Morlet emphasized the extended growing seasons allowed by the estate's high-altitude vineyards, pointing out that "our hillsides are protected from heat and dehydration. We didn't have the large crops that many valley floor sites gave," he added, "and we had plenty of acidity in both the white and red grapes. We were also able to pick at leisure."
