Jacques Carillon compared the family's young 2006s to the '99s in their high levels of alcohol. Grape sugars in '06 were mostly between 13.5% and 14.2%, he told me. "The wines possess their normal minerality, but they will need bottle aging to really show their mineral side." Yes, 5% or 10% of the grapes were affected by rot in 2006, Carillon admitted, but it was more noble than gray. The 2005s here have turned out very well: they appear to have gained considerably in refinement during their last months in barrel.
