The key to the quality of the 2011s here was a "huge selection," said winemaker Michel Mallard."We spent six days harvesting [beginning on September 3] rather than a normal four due to strict and time-consuming triage," he said.Mallard is now vinifying most of his cuvees with a percentage of whole clusters as he likes the influence of the stems.Following a pre-fermentation maceration lasting six to eight days, he carries out "a lot of pigeages" during the first week, then switches mostly to remontage, although he may do further punchdowns "according to taste."Mallard describes the 2011s as "wines of elegance and finesse, but without quite the purity of 2010."At the same time, though, there has been a steady evolution of technique here and the 2011s showed very well in November.The wines will not be racked until the pre-bottling assemblage.As of vintage 2011, this domain is farming entirely according to biodynamic principles.
