As is the house's practice, Bouchard was among the first to harvest in 2003, attacking the pinot noir on August 21 and the chardonnay (specifically, their holding in Meursault Perrieres) the following day. Winemaker Philippe Prost chilled the musts to about 45oF for the debourbage and was able to get lees with a less yellow color. The wines were lightly acidified for the fermentations, and certain wines received additional acidification later on. Except for the grand crus, the 2003s had been racked at the time of my visit. Director Bernard Hervet, incidentally, expressed the opinion that the 2003 has yielded some monumental red Burgundies, with 1947-like aromas-an opinion I heard later the same day from Jacques Lardiere, the winemaker for Jadot.
