Castle Le Boscq - Saint Estèphe 2007 - Cru Bourgeois
This vintage with chaotic weather - mild winter, early development of vegetation, abruptly curbed by a sullen and fresh summer - was saved by the providential climatic conditions of a sunny September of the past 60 years. Phytosanitary control and rigorous maintenance of the vineyard, through numerous and regular green work, allow to discipline the vegetation and to obtain a good maturity of the grapes. The determination, without precipitation, of the best dates of picking, parcel by plot, was a key element of this vintage for which patience and vigilance were the key words.
