Thierry Brouin oversaw a strict sorting in 2008 that produced 4,600 bottles of rose and allowed him to vinify his red wines with 100% whole clusters and healthy potential alcohol levels ranging from 12.5% to 13.2%. The flagship Clos des Lambrays represents a production level of just 26 hectoliters per hectare and is 13.1% alcohol with "just about no chaptalization." The wines were racked after the malos finished in May and were slated to be racked again in December. Brouin makes every year's wines essentially the same way, although he did a slightly shorter vinification in 2008. "We want every vintage to taste like its season," he explained to me, adding that "we make the kind of wines we like to drink." He is confident that the 2008s are balanced for long aging.

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.
