According to Jean-Pierre Cournut, 2004 is the best of recent vintages, followed by 2008. "Two thousand nine is great for the minerally terroirs, and 2010 is for serious connoisseurs," he added. "Of course, 2010 is also a potentially great vintage, like all high-acid years." Cournut started harvesting on September 20 in 2010, and his wines finished extremely dry, with 0.5 grams per liter of residual sugar, which is about as low as Burgundy gets. Cournut's 2009s showed superbly at the beginning of June; they were bottled before the harvest of 2010 and should drink well earlier than most vintages here.
