This estate picked pinot very early, beginning on September 4, and then waited until September 10 to start harvesting chardonnay (the Corton-Charlemagne was brought in on September 15, and the Chevalier-Montrachet on the 17th). No chaptalization was done, but acidity levels were quite firm, said Martin Prieur, and the wines have real bite. When I asked enologist Nadine Gublin to compare the '07s to the estate's '04, she responded that the '07s will show more minerality and won't have the exotic quality of some of the '04s, which she said featured "some surmaturite, and a greater range of ripeness."
