This estate picked quickly in 2014, beginning on September 16 with potential alcohol levels between 12. 5% and 13%, which régisseur François Duvivier described as “not overly high for a hail year. ” The modest crop level of 25 hectoliters per hectare represented a major gain in production over 2013’s 15 h/h and 2012’s 10. Duvivier did a full 24-hour débourbage to precipitate out the bitter lees and hard tannins, an approach the estate does not normally take but also utilized in 2013. The wines were racked in July or early September and were still in barrels—15% to 20% new for the premier crus--when I tasted them in December. They will be bottled between January and May.

Duvivier described the young 2014s as sweeter than the 2011s but with more aromatic precision and intensity. “They will always be good and they may surprise in the long term,” he predicted.
