Jean-Nicolas Meo describes his '97s as a quickly maturing group of wines that nonetheless avoided "the 1992 syndrome" of quick malolactic fermentations and pale, sediment filled wines. Although yields in '97 were almost as high as those in the copious '92 harvest, grape sugars were higher. Meo, who switched to earlier bottling with his '96s, expected to bottle the '97s in February and March, but had not yet racked these wines following the malos, which ended last spring. "With fragile vintages, if you rush them to bottle, you may lose part of their glycerol, their substance," he notes. Meo move to earlier bottling resulted from a trip he made to America in February of '97. In advance of his tour, he sent ahead samples of '95s that he had bottled in December of '96. When he tasted these special early bottlings two months later he was thrilled with the way they showed.
