At harvest time, Vincent Boyer was afraid that his low-acid 2009s would turn out too round and soft. So he opened the doors of his cellar to lower the ambient temperatures during the vinification, and then stopped stirring the lees at the end of December. Some of the wines still had some malic acidity at the time of my visit. The 2009s now have moderate alcohol in the 12.5%-13% range and the premier crus look quite promising. In 2009, the only separate bottlings for North Berkeley imports will be the Meursault L'Ormeau and Les Narvaux, but Boyer is intrigued with the idea of late bottling and will continue to experiment with this approach. (A Peter Vezan selection; importers include North Berkeley Imports, Berkeley, CA; Michael Skurnik Wines, Syosset, NY; Vintner Select, Cincinnati, OH; Dionysos Imports, Lorton, VA) Also recommended: Puligny-Montrachet Les Rechaux (86).
