1997 featured this estate longest harvest ever, according to Thierry Manoncourt. The team carried out three separate tries through the vines to eliminate less-ripe fruit, but the net effect, Manoncourt says, was merely to reduce a flowering that lasted five weeks to a harvest that lasted a month. "We began on September 10 and finished on October 10, but actually picked grapes just two or three days each week," he noted. The '97 contains a bit less cabernet franc than usual. "The cycle stopped too early for most franc to ripen completely," explained Manoncourt. "Our franc was aromatic but lacked color and density."

Drought stress in '95 resulted in low yields of 33 hectoliters per hectare, according to Thierry Manoncourt. The crop was harvested unusually quickly, with twice the usual number of pickers—the merlot a bit late and the cabernet sauvignon early. Grape sugars were healthy, and the wine is a roughly equal blend of merlot, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon. I was surprised to learn that much of the malolactic fermentation in '95 was done in barriques.
