Vintage 2004 brought a big crop, with even the estate's old vines producing upwards of 45 hectoliters per hectare, said Dominique Lafon, who maintained he left the oidium-affected grapes on the vines at harvest time. With potential alcohol levels in the 12.5% to 13.5% range, and even a bit higher for the Perrieres and Montrachet, chaptalization was not necessary. The sugar fermentations were especially long this year, but the malos, happily, were all finished when I stopped by to taste in early June. The crus here promise to be among the standouts of the 2004 vintage.
