This is a beautiful set of 2011s from Guillaume d'Angerville. The growing season got off to a quick start because of the warm spring, but when all was said and done, the time from bud-break to harvest was 95 days, so not too far off from the classic 100 day period that is the norm. The 2011 harvest started on September 1. As is always the case here, vinifications were gentle, which is to say no punchdowns, only pumpovers, and an overall gentle approach to extraction. Malos proceeded a little bit faster than normal. Overall, the 2011s are terrific here, with the exception of the Taillepieds, which remains a bit of a question mark. I noted that the wines were quite a bit shut down post-bottling, so I would recommend giving the wines some time in bottle.

At the time of the harvest, which started here on September 1, regisseur Francois Duvivier thought the wines would be round and sun-drenched, but in fact they have turned out to be "linear, pure and easily digestible" in spite of potential alcohol levels that were 13% or higher."The 2011s are precise and charming . . . energizing," he added.They showed lovely cut from barrel in November.Duvivier is convinced that biodynamic farming "is changing the perception of acidity" in the estate's wines.
