"There are two main types of 2011s," said winemaker Yves Confuron. "Wines made from fruit picked early--say from August 28 to September 2--will have insufficient tannins for serious aging, but those harvested later will have more substantial structure." Confuron, who is always a late picker, both at Courcel and at his family's estate in Vosne-Romanee, noted that the fruit didn't really gain in sugar during the last days before the harvest. "It was more a case of getting better phenolic maturity, more sensual tannins," he explained. "The best 2011s are like the 1985s in their sensuality." Still, potential alcohol levels ranged from 12% to 13.3% here, according to Confuron. He noted that 40 millimeters of rain on July 7 triggered an outbreak of rot on the Cote de Beaune, and that between July 7 and August 12, 240 millimeters of rain fell, often exacerbated by hot, almost tropical winds from the south. Mildew pressures were strong. "But some domains still shut down for vacation in August," he said. "And they came back to find no foliage due to the mildew. If you're going to harvest in late August, you can't take your vacation that month."
