Owner Denise Gasqueton hired enologist Vincent Millet, previously at Chateau Margaux, as technical director in time for the 2006 harvest, but perhaps it was only coincidence that the barrel sample I tasted at Calon-Segur displayed a floral perfume and definition rare for St. Estephe. According to Millet, the lots that showed less finesse or slight dilution in the mid-palate were eliminated from the blend. This was one estate that carried out an anti-botrytis treatment at the beginning of September, and partly for this reason the merlot was harvested on the late side, beginning on September 26, with potential alcohol above 13% but without surmaturite The cabernet sauvignon came in between October 2 and 8.

"On August 30, I couldn't imagine making a wine like the one we have been able to make," said Denise Gasqueton. "We had a bad August, but September saved the vintage with consistently warm but not hot weather that gave us superb cabernet." This estate is in the process of doing considerable replanting of its vines, and continues to carry out about a quarter of its malolactic fermentations in barriques
