Always an early harvester, Bernard Dugat began on August 29 in 2011, picking fruit with 12% potential alcohol and up, and chaptalizing no more than 0.5 to 0.7 degree according to the cuvee.There was a little rot and some grilled grapes but very little triage was needed, said Dugat.And the grape sugars didn't really go up much during the harvest period as there was a bit of blockage of maturity in the vines.The high percentage of old vines here, as well as Dugat's normally very low yields, made a big difference in the 2011 vintage.Dugat's young 2011s do not come across as green or peppery in spite of his substantial use of stems.He told me he's now down to a single pigeage and one arrosage per day during the fermentation, as he continues to cut back on extraction.
