Dominique Lafon, always articulate when describing the nature of new vintages, describes his young 2001s as bigger and rounder than his 2000s, from riper grapes that were lower in acidity. But the 2000s have more elegant fruit," he adds, making it clear that, for the moment at least, he prefers the style of the earlier vintage. Lafon left his 2000s on their lees until December of 2001, and told me he now allows his wines to settle in tank for two or three weeks prior to the bottling in order to get more clarity in the finished wines.
