Denis Bachelet describes his 2010s as "a bit in the style of 2006 and 2001." What does the vintage lack, I asked him. "I don't think like that," he responded. "It's what nature gave us." Bachelet told me he eliminated some underripe grapes at harvest-time but did not have any problems with rot. He noted that his 2008s had higher acidity than the 2010s, with significantly more malic acidity in particular. "The two vintages are not comparable," he said. Bachelet does two punchdowns daily until the end of the fermentations, then much less in the way of pigeage in order to avoid extracting hard tannins.
