Francois Labet waited until October 3 to start picking his Clos Vougeot parcels, bringing in fruit with 13.1% potential alcohol and with enough phenolic ripeness to enable him to vinify entirely with whole clusters, as he has done in every vintage since 1990.Still, acid levels before the malolactic fermentations were very high, about equivalent to the acidity in 1996. Incidentally, Labet is "going bio" as of 2009 and he did a gentler extraction with his 2009 crop, which he described as "a personal decision, not a function of the market." He has also changed his approach to pruning and has planted grass between the rows of vines.
