Discussing the 2008 vintage, Brigitte Roch told me, "not only did you have to work like a maniac during the season to keep mildew at bay, you had to be very selective during the harvest and then yet again in the cellar, and have been willing to declassify or sell off any wine that wasn't up to standard. If you were brutally selective then you were probably able to make an honest, maybe even very good wine. But if you weren't willing to make sacrifices then you were finished." As of 2009 there will be a La Vialliere bottling; by single-vineyard Cote-Rotie standards, it isn't a small lot at 2,000 bottles.

Two thousand eight is not a vintage you want to hold onto for too long, Brigitte Clusel-Roch told me, "but sometimes lighter years that are well-balanced can surprise you. Look at 2002. No, they're not special wines, but they can be pleasant and easy to drink. Not great doesn't mean bad." She likes 2007 for its "structure without hardness. They're like a cross between 2006 and 2005 and should drink well for at least 10 years. And if you drink them young, you should decant them so that they can show their fruit."
