The Seysses family harvested in 2015 between September 7 and 12, picking their fruit at what Jeremy Seysses described as moderate levels of alcohol, with the vineyards that came in at 12.5% potential alcohol chaptalized to 13%. The average yield was only about 25 hectoliters per hectare, compared to 32 in 2014 and just 21 in 2013.
Seysses did fewer punchdowns than in 2015, noting that “it would have been a mistake to try to make a statement in 2015.” In fact, he did less extraction for the estate wines than for his négociant wines but finds that the the domain cuvées have more structure, which he attributes to organic farming. He noted that the summer of 2015 was actually warmer than that of 2005 but not as dry, adding that there was a danger of getting dry tannins and surmaturité. The malos finished by early spring and the racking was limited to only the barrels that needed it.
