Proprietor Alain Raynaud noted that he had to pick his grapes early in 2000 to avoid passerillage, suggesting that this very warm site within the city limits of Libourne did not do as well during the summer drought as properties on colder or more water-retentive soils (the pH here was lower than that of the '99 Quinault). Polyphenol levels were essentially the same as those of '99, which were quite high. The wine went through its malolactic fermentation entirely in barrel. The '99, bottled in January with a light fining but no filtration, has turned out splendidly; I would have picked it blind as a top Pomerol.
