Roulot tends to harvest on the early side to retain acidity but has a light hand with chaptalization. The village wines in '99 are generally in the moderate 12.6%-12.9% range, with no added sugar. Roulot did very little debourbage because the lees were healthy, but then stirred the lees "only six or seven times in total." Still, he did a long levage on the lees because he felt that the '99 wines lacked flesh. The malos were finished at the time of my visit; Roulot planned to rack for the first time at the end of August. Roulot uses about 20% new oak for the village wines and 33% for his premier crus.
