The new vintage brought "purity of fruit, more vivid wines than 2007," noted Virgile Lignier, who harvested most of his crop during the first half of October. He did a gentle extraction without much pigeage, to avoid getting hard tannins, and told me he likes to vinify with uncrushed small berries. He noted that he de-acidified a few of his '08s after the malos because he thought they had a bitterness that dried their finishes. I suspect he's far from the only grower I visited to have used this technique.
