Geoffrey Choppin de Janvry prefers 2007 to 2008, as he was among the last pickers in Beaune in the earlier year and made very ripe (13% to 13.5% without chaptalization) wines with considerable early appeal. In 2008 he cut a lot of leaves on the north side of the vines to open the fruit up to the wind, then left the rotten grapes in the vineyards while eliminating the pink grapes on his vibrating table, where it's easier to identify the less-ripe berries. Because the grapes came in cold, the fermentations took 10 to 12 days to start, and he had to heat the vats to 32oC, as there weren't a lot of nutrients on the grapes due to the late summer rains. These two vintages are quite different in style, and the 2007s are more consistent in quality, but the top '08s have more energy and hold out excellent potential. Choppin de Janvry compared them to his 2001s, which means they will need a good six or seven years of bottle aging. (Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, D.C.)
