Yves Confuron, always a late picker, began his 2003 harvest on September 4, after most of his neighbors in Pommard had finished.Confuron believes that ripe tannins and alcohol are more important for a Burgundy s ageability than acidity.He describes 2002 as a vintage for long keeping in Pommard ("for drinking after 12 years"), though more tendre for wines from the Cote de Nuits.I asked him to compare 2002 to 1999, which is consistently spectacular for Cote de Beaune red wines. In '99, the tannins and the aromas were a bit less ripe," he responded. The 2002s have a fatter balance."

What with hail on August 2 of 2001, very cool weather from mid-August to mid-September, and major rainfall on September 13, the fruit was not yet ripe at the ban de vendange winemaker Yves Confuron told me, despite the fact that the team knocked off a good percentage of the crop in a late green harvest following the hail. The Domaine de Courcel did not begin harvesting until the 24th, and Confuron says the estate benefitted from a major jump in ripeness in the four days before the picking started. The ultimate production was just 26 hectoliters per hectare following strict selection in the vines, Confuron maintained, adding that the yield was the same in 2002 as well.
