"We had half of a normal crop in 2010," said Frederic Lafarge. "The wines are very deep but sharply chiseled, with no single element dominating, and the terroir shows through clearly." The 2010s have a different structure from the 2008s, he added. "They will always be elegant and subtle," he explained, "while the 2008s will take longer to reveal themselves." Father Michel compares the 2010s to the '89s and the '62s. "They should be ready to drink in five or six years but they will last well." The Lafarges do one pigeage by foot per day through the fermentation. All the wines I tasted had been racked just before the 2011 harvest.
