Gilles Jayer did two pigeages per day in 2003 but no pumpovers because, he explains, remontage brings oxygen to the must and would have speeded up the fermentations.The pHs here are quite healthy in the context of the year, and the wines do not lack for freshness-despite the fact that Jayer did not start harvesting until September 3.The malolactic fermentations, which are normally late here, only finished in October of 2004, which has also helped preserve vibrancy.(Some of the 2002 malos lingered until November or December of 2003, and these wines were bottled in April of 2004.)(Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, D.C.)

Gilles Jayer started harvesting late in 2002, on September 23, and appears to have benefitted from the concentrating effect of the north wind.The wines in November appeared to combine extra sweetness and density with sound pHs.As usual, they were at various stages of their development, with a few cuvees still finishing their malolactic fermentations.(Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, D.C.)
