Alain Meunier told me he was afraid of the acidity of the 2004s at the outset but that the malolactic fermentations completely transformed the wines and that they were now round. Meunier, who is more candid than most Burgundy growers, noted that due to the occurrence of rot he was not able to wait for full phenolic maturity. He did a lot of leaf-pulling and 11 separate vineyard treatments in 2004. (Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, D. C. )

Alain and Sophie Meunier were two weeks short of bottling their 2003s when I visited in mid-November, but the wines were still in barrel and not yet racked.Sophie Meunier said the yields were "forgettable," due more to spring frost than to summer heat.The Meuniers harvested during the mornings, from August 23 through 30, using carbonic snow to bring down the temperature of the fruit and enable them to do their normal cold maceration.The wines were acidified in cuve and possess alcohol between 13% and 13.5% without chaptalization.Although I have occasionally criticized this domain's wines in the low-acid years, their top 2003s seem quite successful in the context of this vintage.
