Pascal Marchand cut back on his use of stems in 2011 due to his fear of incomplete phenolic ripeness, and did a gentler extraction than usual, relying on a longer maceration but carrying out only two or three pigeages per cuvee. Still, he believes today than 2011 brought almost as much phenolic ripeness as 2010--and that there was even more ripeness in 2008. Like a number of other winemakers I visited in November, Marchand expressed satisfaction with the way his new set of wines was evolving in oak ("now they're showing much more than just fruit"). He was previously planning to bottle in January of 2013 but as of November was thinking March at the earliest. All the grand crus here are aging in 100% new oak.
