Romain Taupenot has overseen this domaine ratchet up through the gears in recent vintages. He is a very conscientious winemaker, constantly questioning his wines, always a virtue in my book. “We started the picking on 4 September," he told me. "The two Auxey-Duresses are the only two wines over 14% and we obtained incredible freshness for this vintage. If you would have the same weather in 2003 we would have the same wines. The main reason is because we are now more aware that we have deposited potassium into the soil and this decreased the level of acidity. These days there is less potassium, so the wines tend to have more natural acidity and there are even some plots where there is a lack of acidity. Also there is a lower level of malic acid, so the decrease in malic acidity during barrel fermentation is lower. And also I think the vines can adapt to new condition. The question is: To what extent? One other thing to mention is that I feel that the Côte de Beaune is strong this year, partly because they enjoyed a little more rain than the Côte de Nuits."
