Ghislaine Barthod picked in five days, starting on September 5. Potential alcohol levels were in the 12.8% to 13.2% range and she did not chaptalize. As usual, she destemmed all of her fruit. Barthod noted that despite the well-timed rains in ’15, owing to the heat of summer the grapes had very little juice, and she produced 25% less wine than in 2014. She relied on pumpovers to keep the cap wet, carrying out only a single punchdown per cuvée. The malos finished in the spring and the ‘15s were racked just prior to the harvest of ’16.
Barthod expressed the opinion that wines from Chambolle-Musigny are generally more sensitive to temperature changes in the cellar than Gevreys. With the early arrival of winter, the falling temperature in her cellar was “reconcentrating the ‘15s,” she went on, and the wines were also showing blacker fruit aromas than they did last spring.
