Christian Gouges was quite high on the recent 2008 harvest when I visited in November, telling me that his fruit came in with more sugar and more acid than in 2007. "The wines are balanced at a high level of richness," he told me. As to 2007, Gouges noted that he didn't have to do much of a selection, in part because he picked on the early side, "before the skins started to break down." Still, potential alcohols were between 12.5% and 13% and the skins were ripe. He chaptalized most of his cuvees a bit "just to give heat to the vinification." Gouges believes the 2007s are for drinking before the 2006s, especially those from the north side of the village, which he believes show less material and less tannic structure. Gouges noted that in the family's new cuverie, finished in time to handle the 2007 harvest, it's no longer necessary to pump the grapes after they've been destemmed, which means less bruising of the fruit. "We'll still make powerful, tannic wines but they should be less hard and more accessible in their youth." (Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL)
