David Croix reported high levels of malic acidity in the grapes in 2008 ("as much malic as tartaric"), with the result that pHs after the secondary fermentations range from 3.4 to as high as 3.65. The harvest took place on the late side, with grand cru fruit picked beginning on October 6 and potential alcohols generally in the low 12s. Due to the "more difficult" phenolic ripeness of '08 Croix did three punchdowns a day early in the fermentations, then cut back on this technique later on to avoid getting harder tannins in the presence of alcohol. Croix put together representative samples of each cuvee for me, each taken from two or three barrels. (A Becky Wasserman selection; importers include Willette Wines, New York, NY and Veritas Imports, Beverly Hills, CA) Also recommended: Beaune Les Avaux (86).
