According to Jean-Marc Roulot, the chardonnay grapes in 2005 resembled those of 1999 and 1995 "in the look of the grapes, in concentration and in potential alcohol; but they have better acidity and were picked in great conditions."Coulure and millerandage during the flowering held yields to the 30 to 40 hectoliters-per-hectare range.The wines are rich and solid but have plenty of energy, he went on.Roulot was an early harvester in 2005, and stirred his lees only until the malos started in November or December.The malos finished on the early side, in February and March, and the wines were then sulfited.Like a number of his colleagues, Roulot prefers the normally more minerally sites in 2005, as he believes they produced wines with greater vivacity.Incidentally, Roulot still considers '96 to be his greatest vintage, followed by 2002 and then 2004.
