"It was an up and down summer, and the work in the vines was critical," noted estate manager Jean-Pascal Vazart. "Eventually we eliminated less fruit than we thought we would have to: it was more a matter of a wide range of ripeness than of rot," he added. "The better 2006s are ripe, fresh and fruity, but others have green tannins." Vazart did only a minimal saignee of about 3%, but a bit more for the cabernet franc, which was picked later with more dilution from the rain. Still, the harvest here, which began with the young merlot vines on September 13, was over by September 26th The blend in March was a full 13.7% alcohol.
