| Tasting note |
Never before had so many samples of the Pavillon Blanc been taken for the blending as this year -from different plot selections, from the three successive sortings carried out in each of those plots at harvest, from the different vinification trials. Over thirty six batches made up this crop in which the overall yield was no more than 26hl/ha… This great diversity obviously reflects the huge efforts that have been made to take the quality of Pavillon Blanc to even higher levels. Drastic selection was made this year to get the best possible results out of a vintage that was particularly favourable. We will not therefore produce many more bottles than last year... Everything, or almost everything, conspired to make 2007 a successful year for the whites, from the overall coolness of the summer weather to the outstanding condition of the crop and not forgetting the absence of hydric stress, which can sometimes be quite marked in our Virefougasse parcel. The result is a wine of comparable quality, even superior, to the 2006! Rarely has the Pavillon Blanc nose been so intense, complex and deep. Probably never have we felt so much density and power on the palate. As the previous years, the alcoholic degree is very high, but the balance, and especially the freshness in the finish, somehow almost make you forget this record level. (March 2011) |
