Ongoing improvements in recent years have resulted in steadily higher quality at this estate, and the 2000 release promises to be the best Petit-Village in many years. In 2000, according to manager Bernard Terrien, the estate did substantial crop-thinning in late July and early August, and also thinned the leaves throughout the vineyard at the beginning of July. More important are improvements at the harvest. The fruit is now brought in in 30-kilo cases, then sorted on two separate triage tables prior to destemming. All of the malolactic fermentation in 2000 took place in barrels, 70% of which were new. There was no stirring of the lees this year as the wine didn't need it, said Terrien. The yield in 2000 was about 48 hectoliters per hectare, and the grand vin represents a 65% selection of the crop. Michel Rolland has consulted here for several years.
