According to technical director Philippe Delfaut, Palmer lost 20% of its potential production in August as a result of dehydration of the berries. Some rain on September 7th helped, but there was still very little juice in the thick-skinned cabernet sauvignon. The ultimate yield was a very low 25 hectoliters per hectare. Still, the cool September nights really helped the cabernet and petit verdot, Delfaut added, and Palmer ultimately included twice its normal percentage of the latter variety in the blend. The estate carried out a cooler than normal fermentation, doing gentle pumpovers and a shorter cuvaison than usual.

The cold, rainy weather during the first third of June triggered widespread coulure in both the merlot and cabernet sauvignon here, and the vines eventually carried relatively few berries of smaller-than-average size, said estate manager Bertrand Bouteiller. As the summer was not hot, acid levels remained healthy. The ultimate yield was just 24 hectoliters per hectare, according to Bouteiller, down sharply from 42 in 2001. The challenge during vinification was to avoid extracting too much tannin; accordingly, the cuvaison lasted 18 days, with the temperature not exceeding 27oC, compared to a more typical 21 days at 31o

The summer of 2001 was not too dry, said estate manager Bertrand Bouteiller, and thus the grapes came in with a lower concentration of phenolic compounds than those of the previous year but higher than those of '99. Sugar levels, meanwhile, were about equal to those of '99 but higher than in 2000, with some merlot harvested at up to 14% potential alcohol. Color was easy to extract "due to the late cabernet sauvignon harvest." Unfortunately, I was not able to retaste the 2000, which showed spectacularly a year ago but was on its finings in late March.
