According to Jean-Pierre Cournut, the timing of anti-rot sprays was critical in 2007, as was the crop level and the date of the harvest. He waited until September 7 to pick chardonnay and compares the young '07s to his '04s, which he describes as "concentrated, fat, minerally and fresh. Both vintages absorbed their oak quickly, and both went through reductive stages early on," he told me. Potential alcohol ranged from 11.5% to 12.5% and the wines were chaptalized between a degree and a degree and a half. The malolactic fermentations can be late in this cellar, but the 2007s were finished when I tasted them at the end of May, and had been sulfited twice but not yet racked. (Domaines et Saveurs/Jeanne-Marie de Champs; importers include Fine Vines, Melrose Park, IL; The Wine House Limited, San Francisco, CA; Frederick Wildman & Sons, New York, NY; and The Country Vintner, Oilville, VA) Also recommended: Santenay La Comme.
