Arnaud Mortet was only able to show me a few of his 2008s, as the malolactic fermentations here were extremely late, but he is clearly a fan of the vintage after having done yeoman's work in the vines. He carried out two green harvests, one in mid-July and the other at the end of August, and eventually picked fruit with what he described as ripe tannins. He doesn't do a heavy extraction in general, relying more on pumpovers than punchdowns, but was especially gentle with the 2008s, as he did not want to extract too much tannin. The wines, he believes, will be silky, elegant and classic.
