Philippe Blanc, head winemaker for some 29 vintages at the estate, explained: “We had a decent crop thanks to us escaping the frost and good vineyard management during the huge mildew pressure from May to July. Summer temperatures were lower than in recent years with few days over 30°C and around 30-40mm of rain, so it was not particularly wet. We came in over weekends to protect the crop. We stopped spraying quite early, 11 times compared to 19 times elsewhere, which is not to say we are number one. But the vineyard management was successful. The harvest was from 25 September and then stopped twice when it rained, 14 or 15 days of picking with our 100 pickers, 50 from Romania as we cannot find them locally. Sugar levels were lower, but the fruit was ripe, so Merlots came in at around 12%. We ended up with over 50hL/ha, and that meant that during blending, we had more scope to make choices. The more we produce more volume, the more we deselect, so that 54% of production went into the Grand Vin in 2021. Our terroir tends to ripen later which gave us an advantage in 2021.
