"Frost, multiple hail storms and a terrible burst of heat in August resulted in a very short crop on the Cote de Beaune in 2012," said Veronique Drouhin at the end of May. But with just a couple of exceptions, the young '12s showed good balance and lively aromatic quality in spite of their atypical concentration. As to the 2011s, Drouhin described them as charming wines: "subtle, elegantly balanced, conveying the messages of their origins with precision." Some wines are serious, even profound, she went on, while others are "joy and happiness." They may be wines to enjoy sooner than later, she added.
