Yves Boyer has lost literally half of his last three years' worth of production, with quantities down 40% in 2014, 50% in 2013 and 60% in 2012. Grape sugars in 2014 were similar to those of 2013, said Boyer at the end of May, "in the range of 12.5% to 13%. But 2013 was higher in acidity, and the wines are more linear and brisk." Boyer stirred the 2014s weekly until the end of the malolactic fermentations, which were finished by February.

I generally like Yves Boyer's wines best when they're from cooler vintages that retain healthy acidity levels.So it was not surprising that the top 2013s here show enticing purity and definition.Boyer believes that they will age slowly and well.Boyer told me he likes the balance of the 2012s, which he says are already starting to open, but then added that he likes drinking his wines on the young side.
