“It was a tricky vintage, but we made 44hL/ha as we are not organic,” Jean-Michel Laporte, Technical Director at Château Talbot told me. “Unusually, we de-leafed at the end of August, which was helpful for [grape] maturity and easing botrytis pressure. It gave us another few days to wait before picking. We began harvest a week after our neighbours, so we had to be quick at the end and continued to pick over the weekend. We had been anxious about the rains, but we only had 8mm. I wanted to avoid astringency in the wine, but we ended up doing a bit more extraction than planned.”
