There were a lot of grayish-blue grapes in 2006 as this estate does not use anti-rot sprays after July, and thus the sorting was critical, noted Thierry Brouin. It was also necessary to extract slowly and softly. Yields were in the low 27 hectoliters-per-hectare range, as in 2006, and compared to the healthy 40 h/h of the ideal 2005 growing season. Brouin believes 2007 will be a pleasant vintage of modest depth, for drinking on the young side.

Production here was just 26 hectoliters per hectare in 2006, noted Thierry Brouin, who started harvesting before the official ban de vendange with potential alcohol between 12.5% and 13% and chaptalized his wines to about 13.5%. "I like the classic style of the year," Brouin told me. "The wines are not as huge or vibrant as the '05s, and they're a bit less spicy than the '04s but with similar tannin levels. I like each vintage to be different." Brouin puts the uncrushed berries into the vat by gravity to avoid breaking the skins. By vinifying with the stems, he says, the temperature mounts slowly and the wine stays warm longer. Fermentation here typically lasts two full weeks, with the temperature climbing to 34oC.
