Dominique Lafon carried out a three-week cuvaison, which he described as "at least as long as ever at the estate," but for the first time he did not do a single punchdown of the cap."With no pigeage and a high percentage of small berries, the fermentations took forever," he told me.

Dominique Lafon rates vintage 2002 'among the greats,' as it brought high quality in chardonnay and pinot noir.In November, he told me he may well prefer the 2002 reds to his impressive '99s. The '99s are thicker and darker, but they're less stylish than the 2002s,' he explained.
