Bernard Burgaud told me that he’s extremely pleased with the 2015 vintage, noting that, unlike in 2013 and 2010, “there was little danger of getting strong tannins.” He said that even though the fruit expression is “much more like that of 2009,” there’s an energy to the wines “that’s very surprising from such a warm year.” While 2015 featured a hot growing season, he explained, “the fruit stayed fresh and there were no raisined grapes, which was completely unlike 2003, when you had to be extremely selective with the berries if you wanted the wine to be elegant and not cooked.” He believes that his 2015 will age very well—“and so will the ’13, by the way”—but he also thinks that it might not ever really shut down as “the tannins and fruit are in such good harmony.”
