News-babe the reason that the grapes are picked in Bordeaux at less than maximum ripeness is that the Chateaus' wont make the gamble of letting the fruit stay on the vines till maximum ripeness and betting the fall rains wont come and wash the crop down the terlit. A good vintage is better than a poor one. WW
