Jean-Francois Coche picked until about September 15 in '07, reporting that the acid levels in the grapes were falling at the end. "The wines will be accessible early," he told me. "There's nothing hard or tannic about them." The chardonnays were routinely chaptalized by 0.5 to 0.7 of a degree, said Coche. The '07 whites are richer than the '04s, Coche went on. "They're higher in dry extract and more glyceral, with less tartaric acidity," he explained. Incidentally, Coche did very little lees stirring in either '07 or '06-"only at the very beginning." Coche believes that the '06s will begin to give pleasure in a couple of years, whereas "you need to forget the '05s for at least ten years." He compared '06 to '86, and '05 to '85, but noted that too many '06s were made from fruit that was harvested too late. Coche also compared '05 to 1964, which he told me was his first vintage. "The two years featured very similar climates," he told me. "There was very little rain, but the precipitation came at exactly the right times."
