Dugat carried out green harvests in July and again in early September in an attempt to get his fruit ripe, then started to pick on September 25. In the end, rotten grapes were more of a problem than underripe berries, and these could be eliminated prior to vinification, which Dugat described as "exactly the same as always." Dugat compares his young 2008s to his 1996s, "but with better fruit." He noted that his 2007s steadily gained in weight and structure during their final months of elevage.
