Christian Amiot describes the 2000 vintage as "very ripe, requiring almost no chaptalization except for the village wines." Across the board, potential alcohol levels were at least half a degree higher than those of '99. The grapes were low in acidity, Amiot added, and he did a minor saignee in some cuvees to get more color and concentration. Despite the use of this technique, which can have the effect of accentuating a wine tannins, the tannins in 2000 are rounder than those in '99, which in turn were riper than those of '98.
