10. Harvest vol. by appellation

Starting with the 2010 harvest, here is the record of the potential volumes of wine produced each vintage, and the latest 5-year ‘running average’.

When using these figures it is important to keep in mind the word potential. The perfect example of this is the volume of white Musigny grand cru recorded at each harvest; there has been no white Musigny since 1992, but those grapes that ‘could’ take the label have to be recorded as such. Essentially for administrative purposes, it is not possible to know whether a producer will or will not declassify their production when harvested – so in each case the volume in hectolitres is the theoretical maximum for each appellation, not the exact amount labelled!

All figures are, of-course, courtesy the BIVB

    Bill — Thanks for the information. I think your explanation of “potential” needs to be further explained. I’ve asked François Millet of de Vogüé about the fact that white Musigny is always listed in the figures, even though none is produced. He told me that he always declares the amount harvested as Musigny and then later declassifies it to Bourgogne blanc, but it is the actual amount harvested, just not the amount that will be commercialized.

      those grapes that ‘could’ take the label have to be recorded as such

      I don’t think I need to add anything to that Claude…

    The same is true of Aloxe 1er blanc always an amount declared but never seen it in a bottle, although you can find a village white no 1er unless you guys no different?

    Phil – it looks as though Capitain-Gagnerot has fairly recently begun to bottle an Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru white (http://www.eldenselections.com/Maison-Capitain-Gagnerot-Aloxe-Corton-1er-Cru-La-Coutiere-2011). I have a vague memory (which may well be erroneous) that Maison Nicolas Potel showed me one once when Nicolas was still in charge there.

    Hi Bill,

    Don’t suppose you have older versions of the 5 year average to hand ?

    Just wondering whether how much the 5 year average has been influenced by 3 of those vintages being “small”. Looking at them I get the feeling they haven’t moved enormously.

    Michael

      I do have them, Michael. But not easily to hand (for display purposes).
      You are right, and I think I shortly discussed this in my diary-post when I updated this; the 5-year averages are dropping quickly and will, with 2013 included, be essentially of almost no value, except to show the gap in volume/earnings of the growers, versus a standard (roughly 2009 on a global level) harvest yield.

        Answering by own question – if we assume 2008 and 2009 are “averageish” then we can look derive the 2 year average for them. Not sure how the table will display (badly I expect), but for Cote d’Or it shows that the 2010-12012 average is around 80% of the 2008-2009 average. Of course as you point out, that is before any declassification – particularly at the more quality conscious growers that we are interested in.
