According to technical director Vincent Faure, Sociando-Mallet carried out a saignee followed by a rather long maceration in '98, in addition to experimenting with reverse osmosis. Due to cabernet sauvignon that Faure describes as "a bit delicate," the blend will have a rather high 50% merlot, like the '97 before it.
