Jean-Yves Bizot described 2014 as a vintage that had an "up and down growing season as things started well, degraded during the summer and then finished well as September was especially clement. As to the black-winged Suzukii I was actually the one that sounded the alarm here in Vosne as I have fruit trees by my house which is also where my parcel of Les Jachées is. As soon as the fruit arrived at a certain maturity level I began to notice more and more of the flies and I knew that something was up. I chose to begin picking on the 17th of September and did a very thorough sorting job to be absolutely sure that I wasn't inadvertently introducing affected grapes into the fermenters. In the end I didn't throw out very much but better to be safe than sorry. The ripeness levels were perfectly good at between 11.8 and 12% alcohol levels and as usual I used 100% whole clusters. As to volume I am happy to report that yields were the highest for me since 1999 but that still only equates to 25 hl/ha. Stylistically the 2014s are extremely attractive with excellent freshness and elegance but with good power as well that is presently hidden but will emerge in time. In short, I very much like the vintage."

Here the wood treatment is a bit more obvious with plenty of spice elements adding breadth to the elegant array of dark berry fruit aromas where there is plenty of floral influence and in particular violets. The rich and full-bodied flavors possess excellent volume while delivering excellent balance and persistence. This isn't as fine as the Jachées but possesses even more size and richness. A qualitative choice but both are recommended. (Burghound)
