"Enfin, le Gallet souffre d’une tare originelle : faible densité de raisin, faible maturité et boisé asséchant. "

A group of us recently drank 1998 Gallet and it was a fabulous bottle of old-school Côte-Rôtie. It was the second bottle of this wine I have ever had; both were outstanding.

??????
A new concept?

Otherwise :
If density is synonym of specific weight then it is related to sugar content and ripeness.
If it is density of the bunches then, according to my experience, it has nothing to do with the grower's will.
If it is quantity of berries divided by surface, the french name for it is "rendement".

Where did you find a bottle? I thought I had gone through the entire production.

Long ago though, unfortunately.

One popped up at CSW and I jumped all over it.

I bought two cases of 12 Gallet each in 2000 (1998 vintage at 18 euros) & 2001 (1999 vintage at 19 euros) at "Marché des vins d'Ampuis", after reading some wine critics on a website (english or american). "Old-school" was the main word.

14 years later, and after 14 visits at Marché d'Ampuis, I know what means "old-school" in Côte Rôtie : unmatured, less wine (high yield) and some wood to give "body". It's not old-school but bad-school.
If you want to taste old-school in Cote Rotie (like a Verset, a Juge, a Trollat, a Gonon, a Faurie, a Allemand...), try a Jamet. It's the good way.

Not much, sir, not much. You should check...
Pruning is over because of a very mild winter.

But again bravo for the "densité de raisin" thing! Hilarious!
Really.

I've had all of those. The 98 Gallets were right up there with them in quality.
