Jean-Pierre Cournut did not present his 2015s this spring as they were just beginning their malolactic fermentations at the time of my visit. But he did pull a set of 2014s from his private stock, as he’s a partisan of this vintage: he told me that he has cellared quite a good supply of these high-acid wines for his son born that year. “The 2014s are very concentrated wines, with a touch of positive greenness,” he told me. “They have the freshness of 2013 but with more body. And they're more vibrant than the 2012s." The '14s were bottled last September.

"Yields were very small in 2014, similar to the 2013s for the premier crus but a bit more generous for the village wines," said Jean-Pierre Cournut, who believes that 2014 has all the necessary elements to make a great vintage, although it wasn't yet clear to him how well they will communicate their terroir character. But he also very much likes 2013, and for its red wines too. "The 2013 whites show a slight lack of maturity but they are very representative of their terroir," he summarized. "They're a pleasant surprise, because we initially thought we'd have a vintage like 2004. Cournut noted that he essentially stopped stirring his lees in 2009, now doing it "just at the beginning, to make sure the sugars finish fermenting."
