Philippe Colin, Bruno's older brother, carried out a green harvest during the summer of 2005, and said he literally finished the day before the hailstorm, which reduced the size of the crop even more.Still, he told me, he was lucky that hail barely affected his largest parcels (Chaumees, Vergers, Chenevottes), which are situated a bit north of the epicenter of the storm.Compared to the wines of Bruno, Philippe's are typically less lush but more precise, as he practices less batonnage.In fact, he told me that he stopped stirring the lees of his 2005s in December, as he felt the vintage was already very rich but did not possess the vivacity of 2004.(Kermit Lynch, Berkeley, CA; Chateau & Estate Wines, New York, NY; Robert Chadderdon Selections, New York, NY)
