Alain Meunier was a very late harvester in 2014, waiting until September 22 to start. In the end, though, he found the tannins riper than in 2013. He attributes this to longer hang time on the vines in 2014. “We had 110 days between the flowering and harvest in 2014, which helped to make up for the lousy weather we had between June 20 and August 20. It was not summer-like. The biggest problem we had was the Suzukii; we did a trie in the vines and again on the sorting table. ”

“The 2014 are charming, tender wines that will be accessible young,” he summarized. “They’re definitely to drink before the 2013s owing to their very ripe, silky tannins. And the grapes were generally more swollen due to the humidity; we had a big crop averaging 40 hectoliters per hectare. Meunier decided to shorten the élevage a bit and had bottled a few wines the day before, and the morning of, my November visit.
