Sophie Estevenin did a full three-week cuvaison in '98, with substantial post-fermentation maceration. As there are still a few cuves that have not finished fermenting their sugars, Estevenin will probably not begin bottling the '98s until next July (the '97s were bottled in April of this year). Following a dry summer, the harvest at this domain took place under favorable conditions between September 15 and 25, with the sun rather than the mistral helping the grapes achieve a degree of surmaturite. With the '98 vintage, Marcoux now owns 15 hectares of red Chateauneuf vines, after Sophie's brother Philippe Armenier sold his portion of the vines. "We're looking to replace these lost vines," says Estevenin wistfully, "but this is not easy to do today."
