Rouget had a crop level averaging 38 hectoliters per hectare in 2006, following the elimination of some rotten and green grapes. He made it clear that 2006 is his style of wine. "I adore 2006 for its finesse, elegance and higher-than-average acidity," he told me. "The wines are aromatic and very well balanced, and they should age very well." Rouget, who would rather "protect the natural acidity in the grapes than get more alcohol," chaptalized most of his '06s about a half-degree, to around 13%. His very rich 2005s are riper and lower in acidity than his 2006s-less fruity today and more tannic.
