Christophe Perrot-Minot produced an average of just 25 hectoliters per hectare in 1998, and barely 20 h/h in his grand crus, due in large part to oidium, which was widespread in vines hit by spring frost, and to millerandage. The wines, he says, are tannic due to the thick skins of the grapes (i.e., a relatively high skin-to-juice ratio). The '98s here were developing slowly in barrel, and Perrot-Minot planned to bottle at least a couple of them two or three months later than usual. The extremely ripe '97s, all at least lightly acidified, were bottled last April and were aged in a slightly lower percentage of new barrels than the '98s.
