François Carillon described 2016 as "a difficult, complicated year but with pHs that aren't bad for such a ripe vintage." He began harvesting on September 20 with good sugar levels and did almost no chaptalization. I found some of the lesser wines here a bit flat or exotic, not to mention lacking in structure, but the wines had not yet been racked and won't be bottled until next April. For his part, Carillon prefers his '16s to his '15s, which he finds heavier and less refined.

Carillon describes his 2015s as "rich, expansive wines with very little malic acidity--like Côtes du Rhônes with their powerful fruit." He started picking on September 2, "only in the mornings," with his fruit coming in with between 13.5% and 14.1% potential alcohol. The malos went quickly and were over in January, Carillon told me, and he racked his high-pH wines into stainless steel tanks during late winter and spring. He's still trying to stop their evolution and "tighten the wines" and he may not start bottling even his smaller wines until January. Carillon has been doing numerous small additions of sulfur dioxide as he views 2015 as a fragile vintage.
