Henri Boillot told me he brought in his pinot noir early but waited until September 8 to attack the chardonnay, ultimately picking with at least 12.5% potential alcohol and chaptalizing a little (but adding no acidity). He described the new wines as "a bit less green than the '04s, and rounder too." Boillot did as much lees stirring in '07 as he did the previous year, but he emphasized that he prefers picking ripe fruit to carrying out a lot of batonnage. In 2006, on the other hand, he picked quite early, beginning before the day of the ban. Boillot uses mostly 350-liter barrels-around 50% new oak for the premier crus and all new barrels for the grand crus.
