"There's not a lot to say; it's all in the glass," said Bertrand Chevillon about the young 2005s. Or, to be precise, in the barrel. Like many of their fellow vignerons the Chevillons have been picking riper fruit and doing less and less extraction in recent years. Potential alcohols in 2005 ranged from 12.5% to as high as 13.3% for the Vaucrains.

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.
