Bruno Clavelier believes that his 2014s will give great pleasure in five years. "They're a bit closed now but they will still be accessible on the early side," he told me in November, "and they have good acidity to preserve them. We had a couple of showers that split some grape skins but cool weather kept rot at bay." Clavelier compared his young '14s to his 2007s at the same stage, which he said were "fabulous" five years later.

Bruno Clavelier began harvesting on September 12 in 2014 as the skins were ripe. He told me he saw signs of rot ten days earlier owing to warm, humid conditions, with some of the grapes swelling and the skins beginning to crack due to showers before the harvest. Although he noted that a few of his parcels reached 13% potential alcohol, he hurried to pick some others because the weather forecast was not good.
Clavelier vinified most of his wines with about one-third whole clusters, making a “sandwich” of destemmed and non-destemmed layers in the vats. The malos finished late, between June and early August, and the finished pHs will be in the healthy 3. 2 to 3. 4 range. Yields here were down 20% from normal in 2014 as a result of the late-June hailstorm. Clavelier predicted that his 2014s would remain tasty and charming, like the 2011s, but that the 2013s would close down in the bottle. None of the 2014s had yet been racked when I tasted them in November.
