Vintage information 2002:

A very good result - for both red and white wines - saved by good harvest weather conditions that concentrated the juice in the grapes.
Reds and whites are clean with good acidity, and perhaps a step lower concentration than the great 99's, but these 2002's were fantastic drinking from the first day - the reds today are more angular and acid-forward, they really need time.
Some worry about p.ox is already surfacing in whites...

2002 Doudet-Naudin, Pernand-Vergelesses Les FichotsJul. 2006
Medium-minus ruby-red – quite a nice colour in the glass. The nose starts rubbery and and toasty – not very nice – takes well over an hour to lose the rubber, still has some toast, but becomes just a little sweeter. The fruit is reasonably sweet, little tannin but the acidity is forward and tart. Just about drinkable.
2002 Doudet-Naudin, Savigny-lès-Beaune Les GravainsMar. 2006
Medium cherry-red colour. The nose is red, sweet cherry. The palate is a big disappointment, with astringent tannin, slightly unripe acidity and an overall poor performance, particularly vs the average 2002 – shame.
