Bertrand Chevillon compared 2008 to 2001 in its "point of acidity." The Chevillons' wines are never hard, even when they're precise and minerally, but some of their 2008s will clearly require extended aging. Chevillon told me that he and brother Denis have been doing less and less pigeage since the 2003 vintage but that their winemaking hasn't otherwise changed. But the malos in 2008, as at so many other addresses, were later than usual: the last secondary fermentations ended barely two weeks before my visit, and a few of the wines had just been racked.
