Long-time oenologist François Millet was away during my visit to Burgundy, so I can't relay his always visually evocative thoughts on recent vintages. At the end of the day, though, these wines need no words; they speak for themselves, and then some. Commercial director Jean-Luc Pépin was kind enough to show me all of the 2010s and 2009s (from bottle), including the seldom seen Bourgogne Blanc. I will report on the 2009s in my April article.

After a bad spring, a difficult summer, and a drier, cool September, chilly mornings during the harvest "preserved the momentum of the vintage," said winemaker Francois Millet. "The conditions allowed the wines to keep the identity of the vintage, its freshness, clarity and minerality." He went on: "It's a very red fruit vintage; like fruit you just pick and eat. And it's certainly a great vintage for discovering Chambolle-Musigny, as there's nothing aggressive or hard about the 2010s." The harvest here began on September 25, which Millet described as late, and the estate-wide yield was just 20 hectoliters per hectare. Only the first two wines I tasted had been racked as of early November, as the slow but stress-free malos only ended in September.
