For his wide range of negociant wines, Fred Magnien harvested from September 26 through October 4, bringing in most of his top crus between the 29th and the 1st. He had done a second leaf-pulling ten days before starting the harvest and this resulted in somewhat higher grape sugars-enough so that he typically chaptalized no more than a half-degree, if that. Thanks to a strict selection, quantities were just 65% to 70% of a normal year. Incidentally, 2008 was the first year in which all of the parcels Magnien works with were farmed organically.
