Rouget told me that it was necessary to eliminate a substantial portion of the fruit in 2004 on his table de trie. In fact, he told me, he had to switch off the table, because the grapes were passing by too fast for the sorters to eliminate all the affected fruit (Rouget did not make a Savigny-les-Beaune due to the outbreak of oidium). Rouget then tailored his vinification and elevage to preserve "the finesse of pinot," doing less cold maceration than usual because the grape sugars were already high, and then using very little new oak to age the wines. He planned to bottle early, in December.

Rouget waited until September 3 to start picking in 2003, in order to get phenolic ripeness.He says the vines benefited from two periods of rain, and because he harvested under cooler conditions he did not have to subject his fruit to a thermic shock.The malos finished by March, but the wines were still on their lees, unracked, in November.Rouget used no new oak in 2003, as he was afraid that the wood would dominate the wines.The new vintage shows more structure and stuffing than Rouget's more delicate 2002s.(Martine's Wines, Novato, CA) Also tasted: Vosne-Romanee*.
