"The 2005s are more powerful than the 2002s, with another dimension of expression," said Guillaume d'Angerville. "And the 2005s are more elegant and harmonious than the 1999s." The estate-wide yield averaged a reasonable 35 hectoliters per hectare, and the wines range from 13% to 13.8% alcohol with no chaptalization. Incidentally, d'Angerville and his brother-in-law Renaud de Villette bottled the 2004s on the late side due to the very late malolactic fermentations. "Barrel time after the end of the malo was critical," said d'Angerville, noting that the wines were bottled three months later than they might otherwise have been.
