"I've been in the wine business for 35 years, and 2002 was the first year when I didn't chaptalize or use any concentration technique for the cabernet sauvignon," said director Marcel Ducasse. Ducasse described the 2002 merlot as "correct," though he noted that grape sugars reached 14.6%. The petit verdot was uncommonly concentrated and ripe, "like a very good zinfandel," and Ducasse felt it contributed fullness to the blend. "The 2002 is atypical in its combination of fresh fruit with volume and concentration. We've really had three good years in a row," he added. "Wine lovers should start drinking the 2000 first, because it's opulent, unctuous and not at all aggressive."
