Like many estates on the Left Bank, Pichon Baron originally projected to start the harvest around October 7, but inclement weather moved things up to September 30. According to Technical Director Jean-René Matigon, optical sorting was critical, even if yields were reduced by another 15% at that stage of the selection process. Total time on the skins was two weeks, about a week shorter than normal, with fewer pumpovers in order to protect the fruit.
