The malos finished relatively early, Gilles Jayer told me, but the wines were left on their lees until the January bottling. Now they are finally taking on more color, reports Jayer. The '97s will make ideal restaurant wines, he opines, while the '96s will be good to drink relatively young and will age well. The '96 Echezeaux is a knockout.

Jayer '96s offer brilliant potential: sugars averaged a half-degree higher than those of '95, but pHs in a number of instances were even lower. Jayer compared the vintage to 1988, but pointed out that the tannins of '96 are suppler than those of the earlier year as he now destems most of his fruit. A couple of these wines were still at the tail end of their malos in November. (Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, D.C.)
