Mouton had a late but relatively short harvest in '98, with nothing brought in before the rain of September 27. The yield was just 45 hectoliters per hectare. I was told that the '98 Mouton is actually lower in polyphenols, grape sugars and acidity than the '97, which suggests that the quality of fruit was compromised by the precipitation.

Mouton began harvesting its merlot on September 11, but then waited patiently for the cabernet sauvignon to ripen. "The maturity in '97 was blocked, and nothing budged," explained cellar manager Eric Tourbier. Finally, the estate harvested its best cabernet in a matter of just three days, according to Tourbier. Mouton makes a point of waiting for surmaturite (a pH of 3.8-3.85 is typical), and, indeed, my sample of the '97 showed a distinct note of cooked fruit reminiscent of so many wines from the 1983 vintage. It difficult to say whether this character comes from a percentage of raisined grapes or from prolonged heating of the must, but the result is a wine that appears to lack first-growth refinement. Tourbier believes the tannins of the '97 are softer than those of the '94; polyphenol levels were higher in both '95 and '96. Tourbier describes the former vintage as more concentrated and more perceptibly tannic, while the '96 is more fruity and elegant, and perhaps ultimately more complex. The 1995, he adds, is likely to stay closed for a long time.
