Jean-Nicolas Meo was one of a relative handful of growers to characterize 1999 as a great vintage. He carried out two green harvests, the first one in July, earlier than usual. "It too late to wait until August to drop crop," said Meo. "The less ripe vines wouldn't have time to catch up. But with the earlier green harvest, we were able to get good even ripening." Sugars were high (typically in the 13% range, which Meo said was unprecedented in his village parcels), and barely three or four percent of the grapes had to be eliminated, he added. The domain-wide average production was a very reasonable 40 hectoliters per hectare, but just under 35 for Richebourg and Vosne-Romanee Brulees.
