Clair delayed harvesting in 2008 until September 30, then picked until October 14, doing a sorting in the vines, especially to eliminate pink grapes. He told me that he lost 20% of his volume due to the wind during the second half of September and that the typical 2008 began with potential alcohol of 12.2% to 12.7%, although the range was actually quite extreme: from 10% to 13.5%. Following very late malos, the premier and grand crus-but not the village wines-had been racked and sulfited just a week or two prior to my visit. The 2008s are characterized by their strawberry and raspberry elements, said Clair, while the 2007s are more about black fruits. "But 2008 has great aging potential," he believes.

"The 2007 vintage is about fruit more than volume," said winemaker Philippe Brun, who did a soft extraction. "Still, the wines are a bit more sturdy than we thought at the beginning, and they didn't lose color during the racking, which is a good sign." Acidity levels were sound, and pHs were "not very high for here," he went on. He summed up: "The '07s are more pinot, but we find more personality and terroir in the '06s. But the '06s don't give pleasure yet and need cellaring." (Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL)
