Current thinking is to increase planting density, use either single or double guyot, and train the shoots in opposite directions.

Cold fermentation is a matter of taking lightly crushed or whole grapes (usually a combination of the two), placing them in a refrigerated sealed vat, adding a sizable dose of sulfur to ward off bacteria, and then allowing the grape juice to macerate with the skins without fermenting (because it is too cold for fermentation to commence); Henri Jayer would cold macerate his grapes 4-6 days before fermentation. Cold soaking extracts color and flavor, without the solvent of alcohol extracting tannin or bitterness.

Give three reasons why the feuillette is a traditional barreling choice for Chablis.

A type of vineyard "layering" that was universal in Burgundy prior to the late 1800s. A long shoot from a vine was replanted to form its own roots and form a grapevine, ad nauseum. Perpetuated different strains in the same vineyard. Phylloxera -- root grafting -- put an end to this.
550
Who makes the monopoles Romanée Conti and La Tâche? What village/designation?
Domaine de la Romanée Conti; grand crus, Vosne-Romanée
551
Describe the style of Bougros and why.

552
Where do you find the best Corton rouge, and why?
The best Corton rouge tends to come mid-slope, from climats like Clos du Roi and Bressandes. The top of the slope can make wines that are a little too lean and light, while less severe drainage and aspect make for a beat heartier wine mid-sloope.
553

560
Define millerandage. At what stage does poor weather cause it?
Berries not developing in size, giving little juice and a high skin to flesh ratio. Side effect of poor weather during flowering.

568

Montagny in the Cote Chalonnaise (other communes in the village Montagny were not eligible). Essentially elevating the whole commune to 1er cru was a device to protect against the occupying forces. To this day, 255 of Montagny's 440 ha are classified as 1er cru.
579
Who produces the monopole Clos de la Perriere, and where is it?
Bertagna; Clos de la Perriere is a climat in Petits Vougeot.

How would you describe the difference in flavor profile between Meursault 1er crus Perrieres, Genevriere, and Charmes.
Perrieres is considered the greatest -- the soils are the lightest and stoniest, therefore the wines are minerally and long-lived. Charmes are considered the fattest and richest, fragrant and young-drinking. Genevriere is somewhat of a cross between the two.
