"Judicious vegetility" gives salinity and a green element without bitterness," noted Etienne Grivot, who a year ago had compared 2013 to 1978, which also featured a late harvest and relatively few seed in the grapes. He maintained that his 2013s would take on much more flesh with time in the glass or open bottle. But it was already clear in November that his best 2013s boast a captivating combination of silky texture and inner-mouth tension.

Etienne Grivot, whose daughter Mathilde will eventually take over responsibility for vinifying the family's wines, described the vegetative cycle in 2013 as "abominable, beginning with a cold, humid spring for the third straight year." He carried out a number of vineyard treatments against oidium and mildew, and the weather finally improved from mid-July through mid-August, with good luminosity and drying winds bringing healthier grapes. He began harvesting on October 5 with what he described as surprising skin maturity. Interestingly, Grivot compared 2013 to 1978: "both years featured late harvests and relatively few seeds in the grapes. The seeds were ripe at low alcohol levels and both years yielded generous fruit and great acidity." Grivot noted that he did a bit more pigeage in 2013 than previously because he now begins with a higher percentage of uncrushed berries. But he only started punching down the cap after several days because he does not want to rush the fermentations. He summarized: "2013 is not a great year because the wines are not sophisticated enough, but they're adorable, balanced and marvelously articulated. " The malolactic fermentations finished here before the summer but the wines were still on their lees, unracked. Grivot prepared representative, degassed samples prior to our tasting.
