"The merlot in 2007 was ripe but lacked class," said proprietor Olivier Decelle, expressing an opinion I would hear repeatedly a week later in the Medoc. "This variety was farther ahead in its ripening and therefore suffered more in the poor weather of late August." On the other hand, Decelle loves his cabernet franc, which makes up nearly half of the blend. "It was a difficult year, but there's no dilution," he summarized. "It's my best vintage yet." I got the impression that consulting winemaker Stephane Derenoncourt vinified with a light touch, with the result that this wine conveys considerable finesse.
