Louis Barruol acknowledged that 2007 is "a fantastic vintage, no question, but the jury is out on how the wines will age. They're big, rich, forward and extroverted but that's not always the recipe for a graceful or long evolution. It's great if you like to drink your wines young, or somewhat young. Whether they have the backbone to age and evolve is the question. If you're after sweet fruit above all else, this is your vintage, for sure. For real complexity, we'll see." For those with patience and cool cellars Barruol can't recommend the 2005s highly enough, by the way. "That's the vintage you want if you like to drink wines with more than a decade of age on them," he told me.

Louis Barruol described 2007 as "a vintage of great freshness, with immediate accessibility, which is the opposite of 2005. If you don't have patience, then 2005 isn't your year. " Growers up and down the river are under increased pressure from negociants for high-quality fruit, Barruol told me, "and it has become increasingly difficult for a small operation like us to compete for fruit with the big outside money that has started to come into the region. My family has been here for over 500 years, so it is more than a little disconcerting to think that we might be marginalized in the near future. "
