The Drouhins picked most of their fruit during the first week of September, according to Philippe Drouhin.There was a lot of downy and powdery mildew, which slowed down the maturation of the grapes at the end, he told me, adding that the Cote de Nuits ripened more easily than the Cote de Beaune due to the healthier foliage of the vines.The family eliminated some rotten grapes at harvest "but less than in 2008."Drouhin does not view the 2011s as fragile wines but does not see them as particularly long-lasting either."They're lower in both alcohol and acidity than the 2010s," he noted."But I can't name a weak point to the vintage."Nearly all of the wines were in tank by the time of my November visit, and the vintage was slated to be bottled in December and January, which Drouhin described as "early, to capture fruit and freshness."
