The end of July and August of 2007 were wet, noted Philippe Drouhin, adding that "difficult weather after veraison is never good for the quality of the grapes. But luckily we had good weather after that and we took advantage of the dry period to harvest, starting in early September and then stopping for several days for better ripeness." The family's Clos des Mouches parcel was picked in several components over a period of a week. In the end, says Drouhin, the 2007 reds are a bit lighter but more focused than the 2006s, with better definition of terroir. And the best wines, he added, are those that ripened later. Incidentally, the Drouhins prefer to drink their 2006s on the early side but plan to cellar more bottles of their 2007s. (My notes on the finished 2006s appeared in Issue 137.)
