According to cellarmaster Toto Rageot, yields at this estate were in the very low 17 19 hectoliters per hectare range in 1997, or just a hair higher than those of '95. Grape sugars were high but not excessive and acidity levels were adequate (acids were lower in 1998, noted Rageot). Despite Lalou Bize predilection for finesse and clarity of flavor, few of these '97s required acid adjustment, according to Rageot. These are once again--quelle surprise--among the superstars of the vintage. I was not able to taste the Musigny, as it had recently been bottled.
