Vineyard

The care given to the vineyard, shoot-thinning, selected leaf-removal, as well as foliage protection against traditional parasites were key in allowing the grapes to attain their maximum maturation while remaining healthy.
The first ten days of September were hot, making up for the delay accrued in August.
Then came passing storms, but not much rain fell in the southern Medoc. The last ten days of September were again hot and dry.
Under these conditions, the grapes could ripen slowly before being picked. The harvest took place during nearly the same dates as in 2005, from September 26th till October 18th. The opportunity to harvest late allowed the grapes to ripen slowly and thoroughly, which is ideal for the Cabernet Sauvignon.
