Mathieu Bordes oversees one of the largest estates on the Left Bank at Château Lagrange, and so logistically, it would theoretically be a challenge to keep on top of the mildew pressure early in the season. “It was the rainiest of the last 25 years, but it was at the beginning and at the end of 2023. It was also the second hottest ever. Usually, you could have rot but we had no mildew at Lagrange because we sprayed in a very efficient way. One-third of the vines are organic, but we lost nothing in that sector since we can spray the entire vineyard in a day using 11 tractors. Extremely important was the time of picking, which happened from September 30 to October 1. The weather forecast was bad, and some people decided to pick their old Cabernet more quickly than planned. As it turned out, the forecast was wrong, and the weather was really nice, so we picked the great Cabernet from October 3 to 6, and the taste [of the fruit] was very different. We did some bleeding of the vats as the size of the berries was quite large to improve the skin-to-juice ratio and improve the mid-palate.”
