"Jean-Charles le Bault de la Morinière told me that "the 2007 growing season began atypically early with several periods of excess and in several directions, which is to say too early, too hot, too cold, too wet and finally, just right. It would be fair to say that the weather during the season was erratic but thankfully, when it was most critical, the harvest conditions were ideal.

We began picking on the 3rd of September with one parcel of pinot and then returned on the 9th for the second parcel. The fruit was quite clean and I estimate that we had a sorting loss of no more than 3%, which translates into net yields of 27.4 hl/ha for the Corton. We did a soft vinification that lasted between 19 and 21 days and finally racked into barrel on the 4th of October. I like the style of the vintage as it's very pure and very Corton. It's a worthy successor to 2006 and while it's not quite as structured, it's perhaps more elegant still."
