Bertrand Chevillon describes his family's young 2011s as "like a cross of 2000 and 2001," adding that the 2000s are giving great pleasure today--a sentiment I heard from at least a few other winemakers on my November tour.The Chevillons picked in eight days, beginning on September 1, bringing in fruit with sugars between 12% and 12.5% and chaptalizing across the board.The formula remains consistent here:lots of old vines, a pre-fermentation cold soak, aging in one-third new oak, and a first racking during the spring after the harvest, but Chevillon noted that he's doing less and less pigeage and more remontage with each passing vintage.
