Bertrand Chevillon compared the 2004s to the estate's 2002s for their red fruit quality. "They're tender wines perfect for restaurants," he said. "The new vintage displays the true red fruits of pinot noir. The 2003s, in comparison, are too powerful. "The family did a pass through the vines in August of 2004 to eliminate grapes affected by oidium, and then did a selection in the vineyard at harvest-time, as they do not own a sorting table. Indeed, my early tasting of the 2004s turned up a supple set of wines, with pure aromatics.

Bertrand Chevillon noted that yields at the family domain have been consistently in the 25 to 30 hectoliters-per-hectare range for the past three vintages.Chevillon described 2003 as "a complicated year."Originally the estate planned to start harvesting on September 6, but partly due to the difficulty of scheduling a team of pickers, they ultimately began on August 30, after getting nearly an inch of rain on the evening of the 28th.Chevillon told me the 2003s were powerful and deeply colored but quite atypical prior to the malos, but were a pleasant surprise afterward."Still, I prefer to vinify a vintage like 2002," he said."The 2003s, which are all above 14% alcohol, lack the usual finesse of pinot."
