Much of the quality of the 2004 Pichon-Lalande is attributable to the strict green harvest that was carried out in July, asserts marketing director Gildas d'Ollone. The estate harvested over a period of three weeks, stopping a couple of times to wait for more thorough ripeness, and ultimately produced a wine rich in polyphenols (IPT of 73), with 13% alcohol, a rather high pH of 3.86, but sound acidity of 3.4 grams per liter. The most important thing is that even the tannins in the pips were ripe, noted Ollone. Pichon-Lalande used saignee to concentrate the must and also made some use of vacuum evaporation.
