"The 2007 vintage is about fruit more than volume," said winemaker Philippe Brun, who did a soft extraction. "Still, the wines are a bit more sturdy than we thought at the beginning, and they didn't lose color during the racking, which is a good sign." Acidity levels were sound, and pHs were "not very high for here," he went on. He summed up: "The '07s are more pinot, but we find more personality and terroir in the '06s. But the '06s don't give pleasure yet and need cellaring." (Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL)

Bruno Clair, who harvested quite late in 2006 (September 27 through October 7), says that this vintage now gives a great deal of pleasure, while 2005 is powerful but closed, with the constitution to age for a long time. The big news here is that the estate took back much of its Bonnes-Mares in early 2006, and has virtually doubled its quantities of Chambertin Clos de Beze, Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques and Vosne-Romanee Champs-Perdrix, following the expiration of long-term rental agreements (mostly with Jadot) that had been signed when Bruno's father Bernard left him 15 hectares of vineyards in 1988.
