The 20th century went out with a bang for red Burgundy lovers, with the 1999 vintage producing copious quantities of excellent to outstanding wine.
From the outset, the 1999 red Burgundies offered a rare combination of charm and power. Most of the better wines were balanced and alluring from the start, but they are evolving very slowly and still have plenty of life ahead of them. While many of the ‘99s I sampled with the producers this winter have gone through sullen stages in bottle, most of them have launched into their periods of peak drinkability. If you own these wines – and especially if you chose wisely at the outset – you will be amply rewarded.

"The year 2000 shows the refined, elegant, silky side of pinot noir, while the '99s, with their blacker fruits, are almost atypically powerful," noted Ghislaine Barthod. "The skins in 2000 were more fragile, and with warm temperatures at the time of the harvest, the grapes gained in sugar but lost acidity." Some of the fruit here reached 13% potential alcohol, and Barthod did less chaptalization in 2000 than in 1999. Yields were around 42 hectoliters per hectare in 2000, about 10% lower than those of the previous year. Barthod '99s rank among her two or three strongest vintages to date, but they will need time to express themselves.

"Very seductive, delicious wines," says Ghislaine Barthod of the '99s. Yields in her crus were typically around 47 hectoliters per hectare, she said, but the quality of the grapes was high and the wines are even deeper in color than the '98s. Barthod did a substantial saignee following the harvest, running off anywhere from 10% to 20% of the juice, according to the cru.
