For Thierry Allemand, 2019 “gave a unique combination of depth and energy. Acidity and pH levels are strong for such ripe fruit and dark personality.” So are the tannins, he added, “but they are substantial without being rigid.” Much the same can be said for 2018, he added, “even if the structure is more pronounced, at least for now.” Ever the vineyard-centric vigneron, Allemand said that “careful attention to farming was critical in both years to avoid overripe fruit, otherwise you lost terroir and made a wine of the vintage rather than a wine of the place.”

According to Thierry Allemand 2018 is a solid vintage “with a healthy crop, finally.” The quality of the fruit, “was excellent and pH levels are maybe a little on the high side but not so much to make the wines heavy or lacking energy, he said. He noted the rainy winter, “which helped to build up water reserves in the vineyards” and then the rains in June made for some mildew pressure but lots of time in the vines and careful farming “as always made that not an enormous issue.” The hot weather that followed sped up ripening but not dramatically so and made for a very early harvest by historical standards, “as early as the first week of September and the fruit had fresh acidity.” Unfortunately, when I visited in February, Allemand’s 2017s had only recently been blended, they were in no shape to taste, so I will have to wait to take a look at them in bottle.
