As the dry weather continued, the bloom started very early in mid-April and was relatively short. This would later make for uniformity of ripeness. By summer it was evident that the harvest would be large and that severe crop thinning was necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe favourable weather continued during the summer, which helped the maturation and improved the flavors of the Cabernets and Merlots. At the time of the harvest, the grapes were perfectly matured with refined tannins and a high concentration of flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: Cabernet Sauvignon: 87%, Cabernet Franc: 90%, Merlot: 4%\u003cbr\u003eHarvest Start: September 4\u003cbr\u003eHarvest End: September 26\u003cbr\u003eBottling Date: July 1999\u003cbr\u003ePercent New Barrels: 40%\u003cbr\u003eCases Produced: 8500\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: April 2000\u003cbr\u003e1997 Dominus\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dominus","offers":[{"title":"750 mL","offer_id":43462826688704,"sku":"DOM-B97-750","price":365.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4310\/4704\/products\/AngryWineMerchant2019Dominus-min_0f976153-e084-4021-975a-80e17fbb0207.png?v=1676853384","url":"https:\/\/angrywinemerchant.com\/products\/dominus-estate-christian-moueix-1997","provider":"Angry Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
