"We were extremely interventionist in 2007," said Christian Moueix, who is always a candid source of intelligence on a new crop of Bordeaux wines. "We had a strange feeling from the beginning that the vintage would be difficult. In fact, we had a poor summer even if actual precipitation totals weren't that high. But the constant sprinkles kept restarting the vegetation each time: the energy of the vines was not going into the fruit, and some wines have a vegetal taste. The wines lack the spark of the sun; our wines cannot shine without sun." Moueix's team spent an extra 20,000 person hours in the vineyards in 2007, doing three separate crop thinnings, then removing leaves on the south and west sides of the vines on August 20 in the hopes of catching more sun, which, luckily, came out in full force in September. "Some of our wines give the illusion of maturity," said Moueix, "but perfect maturity was impossible to achieve in 2007. There was never really a perfect time to pick in September, and then we had some rain again in early October." Moueix summed up: "We had a wide range of almost-ripeness in 2007. The wines are what they are."
