The flowering here occurred between May 20 and 25, said Frederic Lafarge, and then the weather remained cool and gloomy until the beginning of August. The estate brought in its pinot noir between August 31 and September 5, with no shortage of phenolic material, and grape sugars were generally 12.8% and up, requiring very little chaptalization. Lafarge describes the wines as "charming, but with good structure and length." It was interesting tasting the young '07s next to the '06s-another vintage that Lafarge described as charming in the early going. Yes, the '06s have nicely enrobed tannins, but I found a bit more mineral austerity in several of the wines. For his part, Lafarge still believes that the '06s will be for drinking before the '07s, which he believes will be best between about 2015 and 2022.
