"Two thousand three is a unique vintage," says the always tactful Christophe Roumier."My main concern is how the wines will age.If this is a ready-to-drink vintage in the style of California, then we will have some disappointed customers.But it's also possible that the wines will age like the 1990s or even the 1959s, a low-acid group of wines."On the plus side, Roumier noted that the 2003s have a tendency toward reduction, rather than oxidation, and he predicted that they might well "compact" after the bottling, which he planned to do at the normal time.Roumier harvested beginning on August 28.He told me that some rain between August 18 and 20 helped the canopy and resulted in riper fruit and, more important, riper tannins."The skins were not ripe on August 15 even if the sugars were there," he explained. Roumier acidified all but his Bourgogne prior to fermentation.At the time of my visit, he was still wondering if he should have added a bit more acidity. The overall estate production ranged between 16 and 23 hectoliters per hectare in 2003.Roumier noted that he had less incidence of sunburn in 2003 than in 1998.

The young 2002s are more seductive than the 2001s," says Christophe Roumier. The year combines very good sugars, tannins and acidity to give a balanced taste.The wines may seem gentle and easy but they have a lot of dimension and hidden power, and they are balanced for the long term.They remind me of the '78s, and also of the '95s but with riper tannins." Sugar levels in 2002 were consistently in the 13% to 13.4% range, and the wines were not chaptalized, whereas in 2001 Roumier generally chaptalized between 0.5 and 1.0 degree. He went on to say that the 2001s are more concentrated in terms of extract, and that the tannins are the most important structural element of these wines, while in the 2002s the key is the acids, as the percentage ofthe more stable tartaric acidity was high.The 2001s show darker fruits and more spice character, he added, while the 2002s are characterized by red fruits.Roumier is not convinced that his 2001s will last as long as his 2002s.
