"Two thousand five was a year of nature," said Vincent Lecheneaut. "Very little intervention was needed. The grapes came in cool, the fermentations took a week to start, and the fermentation temperatures climbed very slowly. All of this is ideal for us." The fruit came in with potential alcohol between 12% and 12.5% and the Lecheneaut brothers chaptalized a bit just to further extend the fermentations. None of the 2005s were racked, and a few still had a bit of remaining malic acidity at the time of my visit. This may explain why these wines seemed quite primary in character, even a bit stunted, but they did not appear to be overextracted. Most of the village wines also showed varying degrees of vanillin oak; time will tell whether they become more refined during the final months of elevage. (Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, D.C.)
