According to Alfred Tesseron, there were three generations of grapes during the drawn-out flowering, and after all the mildew problems of the summer and the elimination of fruit in early July there was still a huge range of ripeness on August 20. So he hired a team to cut off all the pale grapes, ultimately producing just 28 hectoliters per hectare. "You can't look at the economics on a year-to-year basis," he said, explaining his willingness to spend so much to make so little wine. "In the end, we had almost the same sugars in our cabernet sauvignon as in our merlot." Not surprisingly, the resulting wine is an outperformer for the vintage, once again. This was one of the few 2007s that really struck me with its pungent minerality. Bio brings minerality," said estate manager Jean-Michel Comme.
