Like a number of his colleagues on the Cote de Nuits, Bertrand Chevillon noted that the 2012s have been taking on weight in recent months and that the late malos were a positive development for this vintage. Production was off 30% to 50% here, with the old vines hurt the most by the difficult weather during flowering. Chevillon finds the 2012s "longer and more stuffed" than the 2010s, and expected to rack the wines only next March, then let them settle in tank for a month before bottling them. Grape sugars in 2012 (the domain started harvesting on September 20) were generally in the healthy 12% to 12.5% range, with the last two wines at 13%, according to Chevillon. This looks to be a superb vintage here.

Chevillon's 2012s capture the power and richness of the vintage in spades. Yields were down 30-50% mostly because of the poor flowering. According to Bertrand Chevillon the oldest vines were the worst hit, which only adds to the pain in a vintage in which the raw materials are so outstanding and production so low. Chevillon pursued a gentler approach to winemaking in 2012, as he did not want to over-extract. It worked. The 2012s are fabulous. All of the wines had been racked once after the malos and were in barrel when I tasted them in December 2014.
