"I started making wine in 1953 and 2006 brought the highest grape sugars I've ever seen," said veteran Paul Pernot. The crus are just under 14%, he added, and acidity levels are in the rather low 3.6 to 3.8 grams-per-liter range, without acidification. The 2006s were in barrels on their finings when I tasted them at the beginning of June, and Pernot planned to bottle them all at the beginning of July. Pernot believes that 2005 is the more classic vintage for him. "You can drink these wines after two or three years but they will age," he averred.
