The irrepressible Laurent calls 2002 "my best year yet, an incredible vintage."It seemed to me that I tasted more of his new wines from barrel than in any past vintage, and I found the average quality impressively high. Among a mixed case of Laurent's 2001s that I subsequently sampled back home, there were some stunning wines, but a couple that should have been great-the Musigny and the Mazis-Chambertin "Cuvee B"-showed strong oxidative character and were downright puzzling.In November, Laurent told me that he generally prefers his 2001 Cote de Beaune wines, for their concentration and ripeness, to his cuvees from the Cote de Nuits, but I suspect he was hyperbolizing.Note that most of Laurent's wines say "Vieilles Vignes" on the label, but I have omitted this designation from my notes on the 2002s, except where Laurent made specific mention of it as we tasted the wines.
