According to Martin Prieur, before August turned cold and gray this estate was planning to start their harvest with pinot noir on September 15. As it turned out, these dates were pushed back and the chardonnay ripened quickly, so the team harvested much of its chardonnay quickly between September 18 and 20 "in a very short window." The pinot ripened more slowly and Prieur says the fruit gained nearly two degrees in ripeness in the last five or six days. But in both 2006 and 2007, pinot vines on the Cote de Beaune required a lot of triage, with 20% to 30% of the fruit eliminated in both years. "There was much less rot in the Cote de Nuits-a function of the terroir and of better drainage," he added. Incidentally, enologist Nadine Gublin compared the young 2006 reds to the estate's 2001s and 1998s.

Martin Prieur describes the domain's young 2005s as combining "the density and fleshiness of 1990, the finesse and purity of fresh fruit of 2002, and the color intensity of 2003." The wines, he went on, are homogeneous in quality and are accurate expressions of their terroirs. "Almost the perfection of pinot noir," he summarized. The team did much less pigeage than usual because the grapes didn't need it, and the fermentation went easily. None of the wines had been racked in November. (Frederick Wildman Sons, New York, NY) Other wines tasted: Meursault Clos de Mazeray.
