Bertrand Chevillon says the estate's yields were closer to 35 hectoliters per hectare than 40 in both 2001 and 2002. Cool harvest-time weather in 2001 made it easy for the Chevillons to carry out their normal week of pre-fermentation cold maceration. The malos finished in the spring of 2002, and the wines were racked between March and May; as always, the year-old wines were relatively easy to taste in November. According to Bertrand, the '01s generally began with 11.5% to 12% alcohol and were chaptalized to 13.5%; in 2002, he added, grape sugars reached 13.2%, the highest in a long time here.
