According to technical director Thomas Do-Chi-Nam, "we obtained our objective of ripeness and sap in '07, but it wasn't easy." In fact, he added, Pichon-Lalande's vineyard manager, who retired this year after 35 vintages, called 2007 his most difficult growing season. With consulting help from Denis Dubourdieu, the team did much more "green work" in the vineyard than in past years-and everywhere, not just in certain blocks. "We had 80 people in the vines from April to August," noted Do-Chi-Nam. He pointed out that the vinifications here now begin with cooler vats, and thus the fermentations are slower to start. "As a result, we are now getting more fatness in our wines, and more floral character," he told me.
