Boillot maintains that 1999 is ultimately the least impressive of the last three years for white wine due to an element of dilution - "the effect of 10 hectoliters per hectare more crop across the board." At the time of my visit, he preferred his finished 2000s, but he also described his young 2001s as particularly fresh wines.
