"Pretty, classic pinot for mid-term aging" is how Anne Gros described her 2011s."The wines were tannic at the beginning and the fruit is finally arriving in the last few weeks," she added."The fruit was ripe but not overripe at harvest, and some of the tannins came from the seeds."In comparison, she told me, due to more millerandage--and fewer seeds--in 2010, the earlier vintage has creamier texture and sweeter tannins.But these 2011s boast terrific energy and purity.Gros started harvesting on August 31 and finished on the Hautes Cotes on September 16.The early grapes in 2011 came into the winery even hotter than in 2003, she pointed out, and no cold maceration was possible as the fermentations started quickly.As is normally the case here, the new vintage had been assembled in stainless steel tanks in mid-October.Incidentally, Anne's daughter Julie had just started working with her the day before my visit.
