Jean-Nicolas Meo describes 2004 as "a nice, well-balanced vintage saved by high grape sugars. The main drawback is lack of concentration. There wasn't enough stuffing in the grapes for the wines to achieve greatness. The vintage is more red fruit than black, like 2000. "Meo, who did up to three separate green harvests in his various parcels, was one of a few growers to tell me he did a saignee in some of his cuvees to obtain more concentrated musts. Meo considers the 2004s to be riper and softer than the 2001s. "We had a different balance in 2001," he explained. "The higher acidity in '01 helped us extract more color and get more profound wines, with deeper fruit, but at lower levels of alcohol. "My tasting began with a few of Meo's negociant offerings.
