Jean-Nicolas Meo describes 2001 as "a relatively structured vintage compared to 2000, but not overly so." The grapes were riper in 2000 but easier to extract in 2001, possibly due to the higher levels of malic acidity in the latter year, he added. As to ripeness of the skins themselves, it's hard to choose between the two vintages." Meo told me he upped his normal quantities of sulfur when he bottled the 2000s, but expects to go light on the SO2 for the 2001s.
