Thomas Morey harvested a few days earlier than his brother Vincent, beginning on September 29.Grape sugars were mostly in the 11.7% to 12% range, with brisk acidity, and Morey chaptalized some of his wines by the maximum 1.5%.Yields in his premier cru parcels were 10% to 15% less than the permitted maximum.Although Morey does not consider 2013 to be a fragile year (he worked with the same level of SO2 as usual), he did a more severe debourbage and brought just two liters or so of lees into the barrels due to his concerns about rot and oidium.As he began with a smaller quantity of lees, he then carried out a bit more batonnage than he normally does.Morey told me that the 2013s are a bit like the 2010s in their energy, but added that the 2010s possess more concentration and ripeness.He currently ages his crus in about 30% new oak but noted that he planned to cut this percentage to 25% in future vintages.
