A year of capricious weather, with alternating hot and cold, including frost in April that did no great harm, but reduced the potential crop. A cold, dry period arrived in September, causing slow ripening in Sémillon conducive to great aromatic purity. The 2008 Y harvest was fairly late, with picking on the 29th of September as well as the 2nd and 6th of October.
