Winemaker François Cordesse Notes
In Bennett Valley we can judge what kind of winter
we are going to have on November 1st. If we don’t
have rain it will be a dry winter which was the case in
2007. Spring and summer followed this trend with
warm weather and low humidity that resulted in only
a small percentage botrytis in our Chardonnay grapes.
e caramel aromas which are usually imparted
through botrytis were achieved in 2007 by using a
high toast level in our French oak barrels.
