Jacques Lardiere was concerned from the outset about the harmony of the ripening cycle in 2009. He was also afraid that the tannins and phenols of the wines would clash with the tannins and phenols from the oak barrels. The grapes, after all, had very little juice and thus a strong element of skins. Lardiere told me that his wines go into barrel with 15 to 25 liters of lees, which is one of the highest figures I've heard to date from a Burgundy winemaker.

Jacques Lardière and Frederic Barnier showed me a wide range of 2009s during my visit in late June, 2011. Many of the jewels among the 2009s are hidden in the villages level wines, which I highly encourage readers to check out. I also tasted a selection of 2008s. The 2008s are quite fat for the year. Yields were lower than in 2009. Lardière made the decision to age the wines longer on their lees to give them more richness, which he felt was lacking because of the inconsistent, high acid vintage. As a result, these are fairly big 2008s.
