The 2012s shows "candied" fruit in the front but it's a very deep vintage, said winemaker François Millet in November. "The wines are fresh and diplomatic." Millet did no chaptalization in 2012 and carried out very gentle extraction, eschewing punchdowns for his crus. The results are splendid.

Two thousand twelve is a vintage of candied fruits, said winemaker Francois Millet. "There's a lovely balance of acidity and sweetness, along with good minerality. And due to the sweetness of fruit, there's no austerity in 2012." The harvest that began on September 22 followed two weeks of fine weather and potential alcohols were around 13%, with no chaptalization required, according to Millet. Millet told me he did not do any pigeage for the premier cru, the Amoureuses or the Musigny, as that technique "would have made monsters."

Longtime Winemaker François Millet is never at loss for words. The growing season at de Vogüé was pretty much the same as it was everywhere. A poor flowering, oidium, mildew and hail in July were all part of the mix. Heat spikes at the end of July caused sunburn in some spots. Sunshine and low humidity characterized the end of the year. The harvest started on September 22 and lasted a week, which is the norm here. The de Vogüé wines are characterized by the resonance, texture and depth, all qualities the 2012s have in spades.
