Dominique Lafon describes the 2007s and 2006s as very different in style. "The 2006s are leaner, higher in acid and more elegant," he explained, "while the 2007s are rounder and softer, with considerably higher pHs." The 2006s were racked only for the bottling, but Lafon carried out a gentle racking of the 2007s prior to the 2008 harvest to eliminate aromas of reduction that emerged during the late malos in the summer. The wines also had high levels of CO2 due to the substantial malic acidity in the grapes at the outset, but Lafon kept a good bit of the gas after the racking in order to protect the wines.
