Almost predictably, Jacques Lardiere took a somewhat different approach from the majority of his fellow winemakers in Burgundy in 2004. For starters, he used more new oak than usual in 2004:normally 50% and up for the crus. Lardiere noted that the low temperature of Jadot's cellar gave many of the wines a rather hard tannic impression in November; and of course some of the malos were very late here. "The wines will be silkier than what we see now," is the way he put it. Lardiere carried out what he described as his "normal maceration," which means 16 to 24 days of total time on the skins-or a good 8 to 10 days less than a "big year" like '99.
