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."

A discreet application of wood sets off ultra-fresh, cool and admirably pure aromas of red cherry and red pinot fruit that are trimmed in soft floral nuances. The mouth feel of the middle weight flavors is not as refined but there is first-rate volume and concentration in the context of what is typical for the genre. This is an outstanding Bourgogne and highly recommended. (Burghound)
