The voluble Stephane Montez characterizes the 2000s as fruity, round vins de plaisir especially compared to the '99s, which are firmer, more tannic wines made from grapes with chewier skins. "We started with less color and tannins in 2000, and it was necessary to work the grapes, with the objective of getting fat and color but not more tannins," he explained. Following his normal week-long cold maceration, Montez did more punching down of the cap and pumping over, and up to a full month of maceration.
