"It was a year with no summer," de Boüard explained. "Mildew was a huge issue. We lost 40% of the crop. So far, it looks like the Cabernets are handling the conversion to biodynamics better than the Merlots. In the end, lower yields on the vine probably helped us ripen the crop. Harvest took place between September 14 and October 2." In the cellar, the team, led by Technical Director Benjamin Laforet, opted for a relatively long cold soak, with gentle extractions and some saignée. One of the recent developments at Angélus is the increasing use of cask for aging the Cabernet Francs, an approach that is working out quite well.
