This estate was among the first to harvest on the Cote de Beaune in 2003, beginning on August 15.According to Claude de Nicolay, potential alcohol levels averaged 13.2%, and the Corton Valozieres and Marechaudes were picked at 14% on the first day of the harvest. Nicolay describes the 2003s as having "a lot of body, a lot of roundness, and a lot of tannins."She clearly prefers 2002, which she says "has the perfect balance of Burgundy."Nicolay used no new barrels and very few year-old barrels in either 2003 or 2002.
