"You had to wait in order to get full maturity and proper acidity in 2003," director Pierre-Henri Morel told me."Only by waiting out the heat was acidity able to climb back and were we able to make wines with real backbone."Indeed, Chapoutier's red wines from the north are firmly structured and fresh, and for the most part belie the heat of the vintage.The 2004 white wines, as at most of the top addresses in the north, were highly successful, with impressive complexity and balance.
