"Those who describe right-bank wines in terms of underripe/overripe are wrong," says Francois Mitjavile. "Ripening is never perfect and we need the full range of flavors: the fresher, dynamic flavors of red fruits and the deeper, more opulent licorice and cocoa notes." In 2000, which featured a tiny crop here and at his Cotes de Bourg property Roc de Cambes, "the vines used their reserves of water to develop fresher-than-normal aromas for the vintage, despite all the sun." Mitjavile did not harvest especially late in 2000. "I don't look for surmaturite," he insisted. "But I do pick very late in difficult years when the fruit really struggles to ripen. It an error to harvest with rude, rustic tannins."

Every year has a weakness, notes Francois Mitjavile. "In '98, as in '88, it was rude tannins; the dry August gave rise to a classic Bordeaux style. In '99, it was the too-generous yields, which gave the wines a generous, tender character but also resulted in some dilution. The '99s are more opulent than the '98s but they are not better."
