The Lecheneauts started their 2003 harvest on August 29, and, like most of their colleagues, did a shorter than normal cuvaison, punching down the cap only at the beginning of the fermentation and decuving quickly.The malos here began early but went on until spring in the Lecheneauts' cold cellar.(Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, D.C.)

Vincent Lecheneaut's overall impression of the 2002 and 2001 vintages tracks mine.As he described it, 'Two thousand one is better as you go north, while 2002 is a more homogeneous year.Still, 2002 may be better in the southern portion of the Cote de Nuits than in the northern sector.' The two years, he added, have similar construction, even if the 2002s have a bit more natural sugar. Acids and pHs are similar, but the tannins of 2002 are a bit riper.'The Lecheneaut brothers avoided extracting bad tannins in 2001 by doing less pigeage(they replaced some of the punchdowns with pumpovers), then did a bit more extraction for the 2002s.The 2002 malos were finished by my November visit, some as recently as August, but the wines had not yet been racked.The Lecheneauts planned to bottle them in January of 2004, a bit earlier than usual.(Robert Kacher Selections, Washington D.C.
