Rouget did a rapid sorting in the vines in 2000, then a further selection in the cuverie The worst problems with rot were in Nuits-Saint-Georges, he told me, with the fruit healthier in Vosne-Romanee. The malos went quickly, and the wines lost color early on, added Rouget, but the color and structure were coming back in barrel. The 2000 fruit came in with lower acidity than that of 1999. In both years, grape sugars were in the 11.5% to 11.7% range; following chaptalization, the bottled wines will be around 13%.

Rouget described the young '99s as fruity wines with average acidity. They are deeper in color than the '98s, with lower pHs. Still, he planned to bottle the '99s in January of 2001, or about three months earlier than he finished the '98s in 2000. Rouget did a strict elimination of the less-ripe grapes in '99 but still made the maximum permitted yields.
