The Mugneret sisters cut off a lot of rotten grapes in early September, then eliminated another 2% to 7% of the berries on a sorting table at the harvest, which they carried out in a quick four days. They chaptalized the wines a bit to prolong the fermentations. According to Marie-Andree, the 2006s "really expanded after the malos, but we could really see the fruit from the outset." It will be interesting to compare this set of wines to the estate's 2004s a decade hence, as the 2004s here were particularly successful for the vintage.

The Mugneret sisters described the 2005 growing season as "very sunny and not too hot. Practically no triage was necessary-just to eliminate the ladybugs." As we tasted the new vintage, their enthusiasm grew. "Classic pinot like the old days," Marie-Andree volunteered. The top 2004s here are also stunningly good. Interestingly, the Mugnerets think these wines will evolve like their '97s, which were quite fresh and structured for that vintage.
