Potential alcohol levels here were a generous 13.4% in 2006, said Guillaume d'Angerville, and no chaptalization was done, except for a bit of sugar added to the estate's village Pommard. "In terms of its balance of acids, fruit and tannins, 2006 resembles 2002," d'Angerville told me. "The wines are gaining body and momentum with elevage, and there's no dip in the middle of the mouth." D'Angerville noted that he doesn't punch down the must, and neither did his father. "We don't want to extract anything that's not noble or clean," he told me, adding that the domain has always destemmed its fruit.

"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.
