The Colins did very little acidification before the fermentations, then readjusted the wines afterwards. Philippe told me they benefited significantly from the rain that fell on August 26 and 27. We got fruitier wines without losing concentration or acidity," he explained. The Colins used a bit more new oak than usual in 2003 (typically 30%, compared to a normal 25% for the premier crus) because they purchased barrels in the expectation of a somewhat larger crop. Incidentally, Michel Colin will split this domain between sons Bruno and Philippe after the 2004 vintage, although Michel will keep the Chevalier-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet Demoiselles and part of the Chassagne-Montrachet Remilly.
