Yes, there was some hail in her Chambolle vineyards in 2004, said Ghislaine Barthod, but nothing as bad as the May 2005 storm that hit Bonnes-Mares. Barthod destemmed all her fruit in 2004 (and in 2003 as well), then did the same vinifications as usual. "The wines' fruit arrived earlier with the 2004s in barrel than with the 2001s," she told me. "The '01s are purer wines but they're also more austere. "Grape sugars were in the 12% to 12. 8% range in 2004, and Barthod chaptalized her various cuvees between 0. 5% and 1%. The '04s had been racked in September.

Ghislaine Barthod, who was embarking on yet another cellar expansion in November, brought in her fruit in 2003 with grape sugars between 13% and 14%, and acidified her musts "just to protect against accidents in the fermenter."Like a number of her colleagues in Burgundy, Barthod says the wines started slowly but are now showing more pinot fruit.She planned to bottle in March, at her regular time."We have a lot of water in the rocks of Chambolle-Musigny, and the roots of our vines have always gone deep," Barthod told me."I remember my father saying that in the drought year of '76, the foliage in Chambolle remained healthier because the vines here were less stressed."
