The 2002s were ripe and easy to vinify, said Bernard Mollard, and the wines benefitted from good, long fermentations. They were actually a bit less flatteur at the beginning," he noted, "but are now showing that they have more material and structure, and better balance, than the 2001s." The 2002s had been sulfited but not yet racked in early June.

Bernard Mollard believes that his 2001 white wines show greater ripeness and better balance than the 2000s, with more vibrancy and amplitude. The wines give the impression of having more acidity even if the actual numbers are the same," he explained. The 2001s taste fresher than the 2000s." Grape sugars in the premier crus were in the 12.7%-13% range, according to Mollard, and 13.8% in the Batard.
