“The winter was wet with a warm spring that caused an early bud break. We had frost at the end of March that affected the Merlot on the west part of the vineyard. It was cold in May, so the vines were fragile and sensitive. Flowering began and we lost some old Cabernet vines to coulure. Then it was rainy and varied according to location. We had more rain in the south of Pauillac than the north, 50mm more in Pichon Baron compared to Pibran. It was difficult going into the vines because of the rain - the soil was so wet. There was aggressive mildew pressure until the beginning of July, then the weather improved until the end of September. The ripeness was slow which kept the acidity. We started picking on 24 September and finished on 7 October beginning and starting in Ste. Anne vineyard. There was a bit of humidity, but there was no dilution. It meant we had to sort carefully at reception, especially as stems were fragile. You had to be precise and react to situations throughout the season. It was a low yield, 22hL/ha. During vinification, our aim was to protect the quality of fruit, paying attention to start the fermentation with cool temperatures for four-to-five days to start the extraction slowly. Some of the pips were not fully ripe, and so we stopped the maceration after 22 days, three-to-five days less than usual, in case we extracted green tannins. These days we use less new oak, 30% in Griffon and 60% in Pichon-Baron. Alcohol levels are 12.9% to 13.0%.”
