Etienne de Montille described the 2008 reds as "not the best vintage of the century. On September 1, the grapes weren't ripe and there was rot everywhere." His team cut off the affected berries, pulled leaves and then kept their fingers crossed for better weather. In the end, grape sugars were in the 12.3% to 13.4% range and de Montille vinified most of his top cuvees entirely with whole clusters. He racked the wines after the 2009 harvest because he wasn't wild for the quality of the lees and felt that the wines needed to breathe. In November, he was still not convinced that these wines had the backbone to be true vins de garde, and he did not think they would close down in the bottle.
