Before showing me the 2001s and 2000s, Brigitte Rochx000D reported on the difficulties of the 2002 growing season and harvest. Following a rainy August and first half ofx000D September, it was necessary to pick before the grapes were ripe due tox000D encroaching rot. Still, notes Roch, thex000D skin components were reasonably ripe even if the potential alcohol barelyx000D reached 10%. Both 2001 and 2000 broughtx000D grape sugars in the solid 12% range, says Roch, who added that the crop levelx000D was lower in 2001, with more concentrated, healthier grapes yielding wines withx000D solid structure. These continue to bex000D some of the purest wines of the appellation.
