Christophe Roumier noted that his 2001 Corton-Charlemagne had an extremely long malo, in fact just as long as many of his reds. As did many in the Pernand area, Roumier reported a very low pH of only 3.16! These two examples were tasted at the Domaine in October of 2002.

The ripeness here in 2001 really occurred at the last minute, with the sugars generally reaching 11%-11.5% and the ripest fruit coming in at 12.8%, reported Christophe Roumier. We had to live with a range of ripeness even within the bunches," he noted. The sorting, Roumier added, was to eliminate underripe rather than rotten grapes. The 2001 vintage will make firm wines with solid tannic structure and good aging potential, "a bit like those of 1993 but with more richness. The '01s show more red fruits than the '93s at the same stage but perhaps a bit less spice and flowers." Roumier, incidentally, considers his 2000s to be lighter than his 1997s. The awful weather in July of 2000 was responsible for the thinner skins of the vintage, and the less important tannic structure of the wines. On the other hand, the 2000s retained better acidity than the '97s, added Roumier.
