FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF THE 2007 VINTAGE - 16/01/2008
We started picking the Merlot on September 17th. The fruit was magnificent, very clean and fully ripe.The Cabernet Franc followed on September 27, also in excellent condition.We finished up with the Cabernet Sauvignon on October 2nd and 3rd.This is an exceptionally late harvest for us. The explanation lies in the inconsistent weather conditions through the summer which stretched the ripening over a longer period than normal. The season ended with over three weeks of perfect, hot, sunny weather in September.The fermentations went very well and the newborn wines are now safely in barrels, beginning the aging process.This was a “viticulturalist’s vintage” which emphasized the importance of our painstaking work in the vineyard to promote ripeness and to protect the fruit from damage.It’s said that good wines are made in the vineyard: this vintage proves it, and we’re very satisfied! In the end, this is a year that will reveal pleasant surprises. Pénélope Furt Roche
