Vincent Avril told me that his yields in 2007 were 23 hectoliters per hectare; he's relieved he even got that much because in 2008 it was more like 17. "The 2007s are extremely appealing," he told me, "and you could almost drink them right now. They're rich, with lots of kirsch and licorice, but most of them aren't dominated by alcohol. This is the southern limit for syrah and the northern limit for mourvedre," he reminded me, adding that he relishes the challenge of blending those varieties with the "classic" grapes of Chateauneuf. "The blending is the best part," he added, "especially in the last decade, when we've had an almost perfect run of vintages, with exceptional fruit. "
