Bertrand Chevillon describes 1999 as a structured vintage that will need some time in bottle. "We green-harvested in July, and the vintage provided strong material. We made about 45 hectoliters per hectare, but our old vines provided plenty of concentration." (The Chevillon holdings in Cailles, Vaucrains and Les Saint-Georges feature vines more than 75 years of age.) Colors are deep in '99, despite the fact that the pHs are slightly higher than those of the previous vintage. Grape sugars reached as high as 12.5% in the Cailles and Vaucrains, according to Chevillon.
