Here's yet another Chassagne-Montrachet winemaker who prefers 2006 to 2005 for chardonnay. "Perhaps the 2005s will be better with aging, but today I feel that the 2006s have more material; they're more full of fruit," said Bernard Mollard. "If I had one regret, I would have started on the ban, rather than waiting until the Wednesday, the 20th. We lost volume in the grapes but also freshness in the days before the harvest. Then we had a hot wind on Thursday and the sugar levels went up fast." In fact, Mollard added, he had originally planned to pick on the 22nd but was able to move up this date by two days. "We would have been better off with a bit less alcohol," he admitted, although he emphasized that none of the wines reached 14%. Yields in 2006 were generally a "normal" 48 to 52 hectoliters per hectare, said Mollard.

I tasted with Bernard Mollard's daughter Sabine, as Mollard was away for a three-day holiday weekend.Sabine described 2005 as a very good year in which quantities were reduced by July hail but quality was high."The 2005s should be approachable early," she said.With one or two exceptions, the wines had been sulfited and were due to be racked and moved into tanks later in June.
