Director Marcel Ducasse, who was scheduled to retire at the end of April after literally returning this large chateau to life for its Japanese owner Suntory since 1984, has produced a big, chocolatey-rich 2006 that represents a very strict 41% selection of the property's fruit. Ducasse declassified all the petit verdot because he found it too tannic. "The vintage was already tannic enough to begin with," he explained. "The petit verdot would have knocked the wine off balance. With tannins that were denser than normal [the IPT is currently 80], we had to extract carefully. And of course it was impossible to use Entropie or reverse osmosis because we began with elevated grape sugars."
