“The situation was not as bad as at de Pez as at Pichon Lalande,” Nicolas Glumineau explained. “At de Pez we made 57hL/ha compared to 15hL/ha at Pichon, which is one-third of our usual crop. That was a trauma. After the 2020 vintage we calculated that almost 50% of the vineyard is biodynamic and half sustainable, using around 92% organic controls. In March [2021], I decided just to go for organic 100%. We could not imagine how much spraying we had to do: 17 just for mildew and even that was not enough. Between mid-June and mid-July, it rained less than up to mid-May, but there was mildew in the vineyard, and that’s how we lost part of the Merlot and then the Cabernet. Merlot suffered coulure and mildew. We picked from 22 September and finished 5 October before the rain - I did not want to add rot to everything else. At sorting, we declassified more of the crop to be sure. We just aimed for quality as we had already lost the volume. That meant we had to ferment some of the vats together. The rest of the winemaking was fine, with a smooth extraction and the vin de presse (14% for Réserve and 12.5% for Pichon Lalande) that gave you the mid-palate and depth. I am exhausted by the season. Even the blending was not obvious. I might rack less often than usual to keep a reduction and balance.”
