At 4:00 in the morning on May 13, a terrible hailstorm ravaged most of the Trotte Vieille vineyard; no other major estate was hit so hard by hail in Bordeaux in 2009. In the end, getting the fruit ripe and minimizing the range of ripeness required painstaking work in the vineyard under the direction of Christopher Dussotour (with enologist Denis Dubourdieu and viticulturalist Gilles Pauquet consulting). The result will be production of only about 600 to 650 cases of wine, but the wine looks to be a success under such trying circumstances.
