It was a cold and humid year, said Emmanuel Rougeot, and a lot of grapes did not ripen. He did a strict selection at the harvest, mostly to eliminate underripe, not rotten, grapes ("in 2011, it was the other way around"). "The vintage is very typical for pinot," said Rouget, "like 2008 in style but with more tannins and minerality and a bit less acidity." Grape sugars were around 11.3% and most wines were chaptalized about one degree. "The wines don't have the power or structure to support high alcohol," he explained. "The charm of the year is its freshness and roundness." The malos were finished by the time of my visit (except for the Passetoutgrains) but no wines had yet been racked.
