• In vintage 2002: used more SO2 than normal at the end of the ML fermentation to avoid the possibility of volatile acidity; batonnage regimen unclear
  • In vintage 2003: less batonnage than usual
  • In vintage 2007: current free SO2 target is 32 ppm; not clear when this began

  • Chassagne-Montrachet “La Romanee”(March 2007): Deep yellow, no vigor, oxidized if not quite dead. A bottle a few years ago was fabulous and tight as a drum. [Joe Durnell]

  • Chassagne-Montrachet “Grandes Ruchottes”(April 2010):

Not oxidised. Mid gold colour. Some white flowers on the nose but mostly sweet butter and nuts. Very low acidity on the palate. Quite tropical and oaky. Not my cup of tea at all. Luckily only 2 left.
