I tasted this year with assistant winemaker Eric Pignal, who told me that crop levels were off 40% from normal in 2013.But that actually represented an improvement over 2012, which was down by 60%, he added.Jean-Marc Roulot started harvesting on the early side in '13, on September 25, eliminating more oidium- and rot-affected than underripe grapes.The malos finished relatively early--mostly by the end of January--but the wines had been sulfured two or three weeks prior to my visit.Pignal told me that most of the finished 2012s here have solid acidity levels between 4 and 4.5 grams per liter but that the 2013s are even higher.I tasted a sampling of the 2013s, as Roulot is always reluctant to present his wines at such an early stage of their development.
