PEUGEOT AT THE RWC<br />
we were <strong>the</strong>re!
The South African motor industry is<br />
busy recalibrating its expectations<br />
for 2008 as sales begin to stall in<br />
<strong>the</strong> wake of higher interest rates and<br />
<strong>the</strong> implementation of <strong>the</strong> National Credit<br />
Act. The euphoria of early 2007 has been<br />
replaced by sober reassessments.<br />
It would be naïve to believe that <strong>Peugeot</strong><br />
Motors South Africa is immune to industry<br />
pressures like <strong>the</strong>se, but <strong>the</strong>y will not<br />
occasion any change in our strategic view.<br />
Before passenger vehicle sales began to<br />
falter in mid-2007 we announced that<br />
we were getting out of <strong>the</strong> numbers<br />
game. Quality was our overriding concern<br />
and we pledged considerable resources<br />
to a major effort to achieve sustained<br />
improvements in customer service and in<br />
our relationships with our owners.<br />
Our quality focus <strong>the</strong>refore pre-dates<br />
today’s more challenging sales climate.<br />
We are well able to compete in a more<br />
competitive arena, but will do so on <strong>the</strong><br />
basis of <strong>the</strong> quality of our offering and <strong>the</strong><br />
quality of our support.<br />
Our strategic goal is to be an industry<br />
leader in terms of customer satisfaction.<br />
We have shown our customer orientation<br />
by giving an industry lead in our embrace<br />
of all rulings by <strong>the</strong> motor industry<br />
ombudsman and our increased investment<br />
in customer service.<br />
I’m happy to report that complaints are<br />
down and satisfaction levels are up.<br />
We have also increased our training<br />
commitment and invested in a new, much<br />
expanded head offi ce in Linbro Park.<br />
Warehousing space has been tripled – a<br />
signal that we expect sustained long-term<br />
growth. Simultaneously, we have maintained<br />
<strong>the</strong> pace of dealer network development<br />
and begin 2008 with solid representation<br />
in all metropolitan and rural areas.<br />
Concerns are mounting that some brands<br />
will be scaling down investments and even<br />
retrenching in 2008. In contrast, we are<br />
maintaining or stepping up our investment<br />
and have recommitted ourselves to <strong>the</strong><br />
strategy of quality-driven growth.<br />
We believe South Africa’s economy will<br />
continue to expand in 2008 and that a<br />
robust economy will continue to create<br />
exciting opportunities for a new generation<br />
of upwardly mobile consumers. Getting<br />
upwardly mobile while getting <strong>the</strong> quality<br />
support you deserve means moving to<br />
<strong>Peugeot</strong>. In 2008, we will be getting that<br />
message across as never before.<br />

What a fantastic life changing event my<br />
new <strong>Peugeot</strong> has been.<br />
A few months ago, this beautiful<br />
new 207 HDi <strong>Peugeot</strong>, Salamanca Orange, was<br />
standing ever so proudly on <strong>the</strong> showroom floor in<br />
Nelspruit. Kind of looking at everyone with those<br />
“spotting eyes”. Everytime I drove past <strong>the</strong> dealership,<br />
my heart would race and I knew I had to have<br />
that car!<br />
I went to <strong>the</strong> dealership nearly every day to look<br />
at <strong>the</strong> car, sit inside it, open and close <strong>the</strong> doors<br />
- open and close <strong>the</strong> doors again, sit in it again,<br />
stand next to it. The car just had to be mine.<br />
Day after day I would go home and be <strong>the</strong> best<br />
imaginable wife anyone could ever ask for. The<br />
best dinners, back massages, sweet talk. I even<br />
helped paint <strong>the</strong> outside walls of <strong>the</strong> house with<br />
<strong>the</strong> contractors. Just to show him I’m up <strong>the</strong>re<br />
with <strong>the</strong> high ranking wives.<br />
Well - not a week later, that beautiful Salamanca<br />
Orange <strong>Peugeot</strong> HDi had a sold sign on it, standing<br />
ever so beautifully on <strong>the</strong> dealership floor. My heart<br />
broke. I was actually quite depressed about it. Really<br />
down, and <strong>the</strong> house could forget about me cooking,<br />
because I had issues to deal with.<br />
2 days later, I got a call from Thinus Fourie, at <strong>Peugeot</strong><br />
Nelspruit saying I could collect my car. It was ready<br />
for delivery! Oh my, you can just imagine what went<br />
through me. It was <strong>the</strong> best day of my life... and still<br />
is. Not a day goes by that I don’t smile from ear<br />
to ear driving in that car. It’s absolutely amazing!<br />
Performance, style, class, luxury, safety, ...priceless!<br />
I even got <strong>the</strong> personalised plates to fit my baby!<br />
<strong>Peugeot</strong> - thank you for making my dream come<br />
true - those cars just look at you and you know you<br />
gotta have it!<br />
Not only do I have <strong>the</strong> perfect car - but I have <strong>the</strong><br />
perfect husband too.<br />

PEUGEOT...<br />
HEAVY ON STYLE<br />
light on fuel<br />
A<br />
modern, well-engineered diesel car can be<br />
heavy on style, packed with power and yet<br />
still be light on fuel. <strong>Peugeot</strong> proved it by<br />
taking category honours in <strong>the</strong> 2007 Total Economy<br />
Run with a nearly new <strong>Peugeot</strong> 407 coupé fitted<br />
with a 2.7 litre diesel bi-turbo engine.<br />
Fuel consumption averaged 6.69 litres<br />
per 100km over 1 505km. Our nearest rival<br />
recorded 7.3 litres per 100km.<br />
The coupé was driven by Andrew Carter, a seasoned<br />
economy run campaigner and motor sport veteran,<br />
but <strong>the</strong> car itself was ‘stock standard’.<br />
That assurance comes from Gideon du Plessis,<br />
dealer principal of <strong>Peugeot</strong> West Rand, <strong>the</strong><br />
dealership responsible for vehicle preparation<br />
ahead of <strong>the</strong> event.<br />
He added: “The only difference is nitrogen in <strong>the</strong><br />
tyres<br />
* . In all o<strong>the</strong>r respects, <strong>the</strong> results show what<br />
owners can achieve if <strong>the</strong>y drive economically,<br />
follow recommended service intervals, optimise<br />
settings and do common sense things like watch<br />
tyre pressures and keep filters clean.”<br />
The event takes place over three days on similar<br />
lines to a regular rally. The aim, as always, is to<br />
decide <strong>the</strong> country’s most miserly vehicles under<br />
road conditions (and traffic ordinances) that <strong>the</strong><br />
average driver encounters every day.<br />
The initial run covered 265km from Muldersdrift to<br />
Hartebeespoort Dam, Brits, Maarnarand, Marikana,<br />
Pretoria North, back though Brits to Broederstoom<br />
and back to Muldersdrift.<br />
The next day, <strong>the</strong> route was Muldersdrift, <strong>the</strong> Cradle<br />
of Humankind, Hekpoort, Maarnarand, Derby,<br />
Koster, Zeerust, Rustenburg, Sun City, Carletonville,<br />
Randfontein, Krugersdorp and back to Muldersdrift,<br />
a distance of 620km. The route, in reverse direction,<br />
was retraced <strong>the</strong> next day.<br />
Driving for economy when a sizeable power-pack<br />
sits under <strong>the</strong> bonnet was a key challenge for<br />
Andrew Carter. He explained: “This is a twin-turbo<br />
coupé with peak torque at 1900 revs. You have all<br />
<strong>the</strong> performance you need, but it is also possible to<br />
drive for incredible fuel efficiency.<br />
The essential technique is to drive conservatively<br />
in <strong>the</strong> highest gear without <strong>the</strong> engine flagging<br />
while monitoring <strong>the</strong> rev counter. You don’t drive<br />
with <strong>the</strong> air conditioning on because of <strong>the</strong> power<br />
drain which measurably increases fuel consumption,<br />
but o<strong>the</strong>rwise <strong>the</strong> average driver could achieve<br />
significant gains in fuel efficiency by maintaining basic<br />
disciplines like this.”<br />
Andrew Carter was accompanied daily by navigator<br />
Manfred Hertz and an official observer whose sole<br />
purpose was to ensure that none of <strong>the</strong> rules of <strong>the</strong><br />
road were broken.<br />
The final day, our driver reported, was “typical of<br />
any Saturday in a farming community with trucks,<br />
tractors, women going shopping, farmers driving<br />
bakkies and mini-bus taxis by <strong>the</strong> score”. Of course,<br />
<strong>the</strong> score that mattered most was that 6.69/100km<br />
by a 2.7 HDi DPFS 150kW engine. What a coup<br />
for our coupé!<br />

PEUGEOT 308<br />

ELEGANCE, RELIABILITY,<br />
<strong>the</strong> 308 has it all<br />
There’s safety in numbers… particularly <strong>the</strong><br />
numbers 3-0-8. You can add reliability, modernity<br />
and elegance as well. Because <strong>the</strong> spanking new<br />
<strong>Peugeot</strong> 308 has got <strong>the</strong> lot.<br />
The successor to <strong>the</strong> 307 had to be something special.<br />
And it is. The 307 has notched up world sales of<br />
3.7 million since its introduction in 2002 and became one<br />
of <strong>the</strong> brand’s core offerings. Similar global success is<br />
predicted for <strong>the</strong> elegant and efficient 308.<br />
This reliable yet rakish saloon was introduced into<br />
South Africa in January 2008, only a matter of months<br />
after its international debut at <strong>the</strong> Frankfurt Motor<br />
Show in September.<br />
The 308 is positioned in <strong>the</strong> mid-size segment that’s<br />
become <strong>the</strong> most heavily populated space in <strong>the</strong> motor<br />
industry. In South Africa, 342 competing models clamour<br />
for attention and nearly 100 of <strong>the</strong>m line up in direct<br />
opposition to <strong>the</strong> newcomer.<br />
<strong>Peugeot</strong> is obviously confident that <strong>the</strong> first car to carry<br />
its ‘8’ designation is more than capable of holding its own<br />
in <strong>the</strong> middleweight division.<br />
There are three offerings in <strong>the</strong> local range; <strong>the</strong> 308<br />
X-Line (R169 000), <strong>the</strong> 308 XS (R197 900) and <strong>the</strong> 308<br />
XT (R215 900). Automatic and diesel versions of <strong>the</strong> XS<br />
are on <strong>the</strong>ir way soon.<br />
In whatever format, this vehicle has a good claim to be<br />
best by test when it comes to reliability. Factory drivers<br />
clocked up two million on-road kilometres ironing out<br />
every possible snag in <strong>the</strong> everyday driving conditions that<br />
are likely to confront every owner.<br />
The onboard technology is advanced, but has all been<br />
proven in various iterations before being brought toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />
in <strong>the</strong> stylish 308 package.<br />
The newcomer has a five-star EuroNCAP rating – Europe’s<br />
most demanding set of independent safety standards –<br />
and <strong>the</strong> 308 diesel meets <strong>the</strong> brand’s newly launched<br />
Blue Lion environmental criteria. Additionally all 308’s<br />
are 95% recyclable at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong>ir life.<br />
Efficiency comes standard in <strong>the</strong> 308 whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> focus<br />
falls on environmental sensitivity, engine performance,<br />
braking, road-holding or fuel consumption.<br />
Three engines are offered – two petrol (both developed<br />
by <strong>the</strong> PSA <strong>Peugeot</strong> Citroën and BMW partnership) and<br />
one diesel.<br />
The 1.6 litre (110 kW) THP (turbo high pressure) EP6<br />
petrol engine uses a common rail injection system<br />
and generates an impressive 240Nm of torque. The<br />
1.6 litre (88kW) VTi EP6 employs a variable valve timing<br />
system for optimum efficiency – a world first in this<br />
market segment.<br />
4 5<br />
PEugEOTCLub
MODERNITY...<br />
A five-speed manual gearbox is offered with <strong>the</strong><br />
two petrol-engine versions and a four-speed<br />
automatic is offered with <strong>the</strong> VTi engine.<br />
The 1.6 litre HDi FAP (80kW) diesel develops<br />
240Nm and comes with a five-speed mechanical<br />
gearbox.<br />
The FAP (Filtre à Particules - French for a diesel<br />
particulate filter) contributes to this engine’s low<br />
carbon dioxide emissions; just 125gm/km.<br />
Safety is assured. Seven airbags are fitted into<br />
<strong>the</strong> top-of-<strong>the</strong>-range XT, with four or two<br />
provided in <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r levels.<br />
ESP (Electronic Stability Programme) is available<br />
on <strong>the</strong> 308 XT model, giving <strong>the</strong> driver sustained<br />
and consistent braking performance when<br />
stopping power is called for.<br />
Road-handling has been enhanced – in part as a<br />
result of widened tracks and a lower silhouette.<br />
The 308 is 1.5cm lower than its predecessor.<br />
It doesn’t sound much, but <strong>the</strong> sleeker lines in<br />
combination with a set-back windshield and <strong>the</strong><br />
forward slope of <strong>the</strong> body create a feline look and<br />
ensure a class-leading drag co-efficient.<br />
The wide radiator grille and elongated lights add<br />
to <strong>the</strong> effect, creating <strong>the</strong> impression of a cat<br />
ready to pounce.<br />
The sweep of <strong>the</strong> saloon’s extensive glass areas<br />
adds to <strong>the</strong> feeling of modernity and streamlined<br />
efficiency. In particular, <strong>the</strong> XT’s spectacular<br />
panoramic glass roof is guaranteed to turn heads.<br />
It will also turn your passengers into stargazers on<br />
any night drive. The glass area covers nearly 5m²<br />
(<strong>the</strong> largest glass surface area in <strong>the</strong> segment).<br />
French styling characterises <strong>the</strong> interior aes<strong>the</strong>tics.<br />
The lines are clean, <strong>the</strong> dashboard uncluttered<br />
while <strong>the</strong> foot-wells create more space for<br />
passengers in <strong>the</strong> rear. In fact, <strong>the</strong> impression is of<br />
enhanced interior space and surprising roominess<br />
for a car in <strong>the</strong> mid-size category. The large glass<br />
areas and <strong>the</strong> inrush of natural light obviously add<br />
to this feeling, but feelings are confirmed by <strong>the</strong><br />
generous leg-room and <strong>the</strong> space-saver seats.<br />
Numerous storage units optimise <strong>the</strong> available<br />
space, creating overall storage volume of 42 litres,<br />
including an ingenious storage space concealed<br />
beneath <strong>the</strong> rear shelf and accessible from ei<strong>the</strong>r<br />
<strong>the</strong> interior or through <strong>the</strong> hatchback.<br />
Riding comfort is assured by <strong>the</strong> pseudo<br />
McPherson front suspension, <strong>the</strong> rear suspension’s<br />
rear torsion beam and <strong>the</strong> ‘anti-submarining’<br />
rear seat system.<br />
You don’t only get a comfortable ride, but a quiet<br />
one. Sound-proofing has been significantly improved<br />
thanks to thicker bulkheads, double tube seals in<br />
<strong>the</strong> engine and <strong>the</strong> use of polyurethane, polystyrene<br />
and felt padding to dampen engine noise.<br />
Sleek aerodynamics<br />
obviously add to<br />
<strong>the</strong> perception of<br />
quiet efficiency.<br />
This beauty has <strong>the</strong><br />
lowest drag factor in<br />
its class – an attribute<br />
that contributes<br />
to superior fuel<br />
efficiency.<br />
U n d e r u r b a n<br />
conditions, <strong>the</strong> 1.6<br />
HDi version achieved<br />
diesel consumption<br />
of 6 litres per 100km.<br />
In a mix of driving<br />
conditions this came<br />
down to 4.7 litres<br />
per 100km. The 1.6<br />
VTi petrol engine<br />
with manual box<br />
achieved 9.3 litres<br />
per 100km in urban<br />
conditions and 6.7<br />
litres per 100km in<br />
various conditions.<br />
With <strong>the</strong> 60 litre fuel<br />
tank, <strong>the</strong> 308 is<br />
obviously designed<br />
to take you a long<br />
way… In safety, in<br />
comfort and in style.

Blue Lion sets<br />
new eco-friendly<br />
standards<br />

PEugEOTCLub
<strong>Peugeot</strong> has long been a leader in <strong>the</strong> development<br />
of ecologically friendly vehicles and has now raised<br />
<strong>the</strong> bar still higher by launching its own ‘Blue Lion’<br />
standard for low carbon-emission and largely<br />
recyclable vehicles.<br />
Simultaneously, <strong>the</strong> brand has demonstrated just<br />
how low you can go with CO2 by developing a<br />
308 hybrid HDi that combines a 1.6 litre diesel<br />
engine with a 21bhp electric motor.<br />
The 308 hybrid, one of <strong>the</strong> hits of <strong>the</strong> Frankfurt<br />
Motor Show, emits only 90g/km of CO2 while<br />
reducing fuel consumption by 58% in <strong>the</strong> urban drive<br />
cycle compared to a standard 308 HDi (already one<br />
of <strong>the</strong> most efficient vehicles in its class).<br />
The showstopper was hailed as a signal that<br />
hybrid commercialisation is making huge strides.<br />
<strong>Peugeot</strong>’s involvement gives rock-solid credibility<br />
to <strong>the</strong>se developments as <strong>the</strong> company is <strong>the</strong><br />
world’s largest producer of passenger vehicle<br />
diesel-engines and has produced diesel vehicles<br />
since 1902.<br />
<strong>Peugeot</strong> could be ready for a commercial hybrid<br />
launch as early as 2010.<br />
<strong>Peugeot</strong>’s latest parallel hybrid power-plant<br />
combines a 110 bhp 1.6 HDi DPFS diesel engine<br />
and an electric motor to deliver maximum<br />
power output of 132 bhp, comparable to a 2.0<br />
litre HDi. The electric motor backs up <strong>the</strong> diesel<br />
engine for enhanced in-gear acceleration, yet fuel<br />
consumption is miserly at 3.4 litres/100km.<br />
The power-train has been designed with <strong>the</strong><br />
Euro V directive in mind. This comes into force<br />
next year in <strong>the</strong> EU and regulates <strong>the</strong> urban driving<br />
of electric and Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV).<br />
Staying way ahead of regulatory requirements<br />
is no accident. <strong>Peugeot</strong> has been doing it for<br />
years. A generation ago, its VERA programme<br />
in collaboration with <strong>the</strong> Energy-Saving Agency<br />
showed that <strong>Peugeot</strong> was eager to harness<br />
environmentally friendly technology.<br />
In 1994, <strong>Peugeot</strong> pioneered commercial vehicles<br />
driven by Vehicular Natural Gas (VNG). A year<br />
later, <strong>the</strong> brand launched its first ZEV electric<br />
vehicle and in 1998 introduced <strong>the</strong> first HDi<br />
diesel common rail engine, offering a 20%<br />
reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.<br />
The second generation of HDi units followed<br />
in 2002.<br />
<strong>Peugeot</strong> is also active in <strong>the</strong> utilisation of biofuels<br />
and fuel-cell technology.<br />
Since 2001 in Europe alone, <strong>Peugeot</strong> has sold<br />
more than 1 million vehicles that emit less than<br />
120g/km of CO2 and in <strong>the</strong> first half of 2007, 49%<br />
of <strong>Peugeot</strong>’s European sales were accounted for<br />
by vehicles emitting less than 140g/km of CO2.<br />
Reduction of <strong>the</strong> carbon footprint has become a<br />
<strong>Peugeot</strong> priority – which explains <strong>the</strong> introduction<br />
of <strong>the</strong> Blue Lion emblem, a mark of eco-sensitivity<br />
that <strong>Peugeot</strong> owners can trust.<br />
Cars with Blue Lion status:<br />
Have CO2 emissions of 130g/km or lower (or<br />
meet similarly rigorous standards when running<br />
on biofuel or VNG)<br />
Are manufactured at a plant with ISO 14001<br />
accreditation (showing strict adherence to<br />
environmental management standards)<br />
Are designed to ensure that at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
life, <strong>the</strong>se vehicles are 95% recyclable.<br />
The 1.6 litre diesel 308 has CO2 emissions of 125g/<br />
km and it joins <strong>the</strong> 107 and <strong>the</strong> 207 diesel as cars<br />
sold in South Africa which already achieve Blue Lion<br />
status. This means that when <strong>the</strong> environmentally<br />
friendly 308 shows a clean pair of heels to <strong>the</strong><br />
competition, <strong>the</strong>y really are clean.

Strategic investment drives<br />
dealer network<br />
expansion<br />
PEugEOT dEaLERS<br />
‘...by year-end, <strong>the</strong>re were 32 dealerships in our network.’<br />
<strong>Peugeot</strong> keeps getting closer and closer<br />
to our owners… no matter where <strong>the</strong>y<br />
live. Big investment in <strong>the</strong> dealer network<br />
in 2007 ensured that by year-end, <strong>the</strong>re were<br />
32 dealerships in our network.<br />
In 2007, investment of R30 million led to <strong>the</strong><br />
development of new dealerships in Polokwane,<br />
Vereeniging, Hatfield, Lenasia, Richards Bay<br />
and Welkom.<br />
The pace of development continues in 2008.<br />
A major new dealership will open in Germiston<br />
before mid-year while building work recently<br />
started on dealerships in Tokai and Rustenburg.<br />
Cape coverage will be fur<strong>the</strong>r enhanced by <strong>the</strong><br />
opening of a Paarl satellite dealership.<br />
PMSA franchise manager Anthony Olivier<br />
noted: “We are demonstrating our long-term<br />
commitment to South Africa through strategic<br />
investment in <strong>the</strong> network.<br />
“We have now covered almost all of <strong>the</strong> main<br />
population centres. This does not mean <strong>the</strong><br />
effort will tail off in 2008. We are committed to<br />
continual enhancement in support of our owners.<br />
The emphasis may switch, but nothing changes<br />
that strategic commitment.”<br />
Increasingly, PMSA will look to complement <strong>the</strong><br />
existing network through satellite dealerships<br />
You can now find new dealerships at:-<br />
• <strong>Peugeot</strong> Richards Bay: 124 Dollar Drive<br />
(corner of Markstrasse and Dollar Drive)<br />
• <strong>Peugeot</strong> Lenasia: Corner Flamingo Street and<br />
Nirvana Drive<br />
that are ‘under <strong>the</strong> wing’ of major metropolitan<br />
operations, but provide a local access point for<br />
owners in <strong>the</strong> wider area.<br />
The plan for <strong>the</strong> Paarl satellite is a demonstration<br />
of this process at work.<br />
In addition, PMSA will be looking to identify wellresourced<br />
workshops known for quality service<br />
in some outlying areas or in urban centres with<br />
relatively small populations.<br />
The intention is to form joint-ventures with<br />
quality workshops and develop a network of<br />
approved workshops in areas outside <strong>the</strong> ‘range’<br />
of PMSA’s established dealers.<br />
A JV on this model is currently being negotiated<br />
to improve <strong>the</strong> parts, service and breakdown<br />
coverage of <strong>the</strong> Grahamstown area.<br />
Anthony Olivier added: “In a relatively short time,<br />
we have established a high quality dealership<br />
network that gives us broad coverage and offers<br />
our owners access to modern facilities that reflect<br />
<strong>Peugeot</strong> brand values.<br />
“Our owners expect high standards of<br />
professionalism, so we remain highly selective.<br />
The strategy of complementing our core network<br />
with satellite operations and JVs is designed<br />
to deliver <strong>the</strong> best of both worlds – quality<br />
and quantity.”<br />

The script of Casablanca takes some beating, but <strong>the</strong><br />
Boks’ triumph and <strong>the</strong> Paris trip of a lifetime by our<br />
winners must have come close.<br />

‘Calling all passengers boarding Air France AF995 to<br />
Paris’ was <strong>the</strong> announcement that set <strong>the</strong> dream in<br />
motion for our competition winners – Lungelwa<br />
Nabe, Adam Franks, Donovan Botha, Anthony Burns<br />
and Willie Bezuidenhout – and <strong>the</strong>ir partners.<br />
They were accompanied by SA Marketing Director<br />
Mike Wilson and myself on <strong>the</strong> 11-hour flight to<br />
Charles de Gaulle Airport, and <strong>the</strong>n through <strong>the</strong><br />
infamous Paris traffic to <strong>the</strong> hotel.<br />
After freshening up, everyone climbed aboard <strong>the</strong><br />
City Tour bus to see <strong>the</strong> sights – <strong>the</strong> Louvre, <strong>the</strong><br />
Seine, <strong>the</strong> Musee d’Orsay and Notre Dame – and<br />
take lunch in a street-side café.<br />
A leisurely walk through <strong>the</strong> streets of Paris brought<br />
us back to our hotel and limbered up our team for<br />
an evening at <strong>the</strong> Lido, lashings of French cuisine and<br />
a brilliant show.<br />
Friday <strong>the</strong> 14th September saw <strong>the</strong> group catch <strong>the</strong><br />
Metro to <strong>the</strong> Eiffel Tower, where we climbed over<br />
600 stairs to <strong>the</strong> second level and <strong>the</strong>n caught a lift<br />
to <strong>the</strong> top.<br />
After <strong>the</strong> morning’s exercise, it was lunch on <strong>the</strong><br />
Seine followed by an afternoon at leisure, giving you<br />
By <strong>the</strong> time we headed out to <strong>the</strong> Stade de France for<br />
<strong>the</strong> SA-England group encounter, Paris was already<br />
dotted with green and gold and white jerseys in<br />
anticipation of <strong>the</strong> match.<br />
The Boks’ 36-0 win was awesome. You just had to be<br />
<strong>the</strong>re. And we were!<br />
On Saturday we were up early for a tour of <strong>the</strong><br />
Bridges of Paris, a chance to catch up on Paris history<br />
and juicy gossip about France down <strong>the</strong> centuries.<br />
It was an enlightening morning thanks to accounts of<br />
a statue of Henry IV of France stuffed with a bust of<br />
Napoleon to tales of how city dwellers were taxed<br />
according to <strong>the</strong> number of bodies of family members<br />
<strong>the</strong>y dumped in <strong>the</strong> Seine.<br />
The group <strong>the</strong>n proceeded to lunch at Notre<br />
Dame, where <strong>the</strong> adventurous ate frog’s legs and<br />
steak tartare.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> evening, <strong>the</strong> group went on <strong>the</strong> Bateaux<br />
Mouches for a scenic boat trip down <strong>the</strong> Seine.<br />
Dinner was served and everyone had a magnificent<br />
final evening catching <strong>the</strong> sights of Paris at night from<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir table and <strong>the</strong> viewing deck.<br />
All too soon on <strong>the</strong> Sunday morning we were whisked<br />
back to Charles de Gaulle Airport for our return flight<br />
home. Finally, we had a chance to get some sleep and<br />
absorb <strong>the</strong> dream trip and that dream of a win!<br />

<strong>Peugeot</strong> lovers from all over <strong>the</strong> world<br />
were welcomed this year in Slovenia<br />
for <strong>the</strong> yearly Rassemblement<br />
International de L’Aventure <strong>Peugeot</strong> meeting.<br />
The Republic of Slovenia lies at <strong>the</strong> heart of<br />
Europe, where <strong>the</strong> Alps face <strong>the</strong> Pannonian<br />
plains and <strong>the</strong> Mediterranean meets <strong>the</strong><br />
mysterious Karst. To <strong>the</strong> north is Austria,<br />
Hungary to <strong>the</strong> east, Croatia to <strong>the</strong> south<br />
and Italy to <strong>the</strong> west. This tiny country only<br />
covers an area of 20.273 sq km and has a<br />
population of 2 million people.<br />
With its Sub-Mediterranean climate on <strong>the</strong><br />
coast and Continental climate in <strong>the</strong> interior,<br />
we were welcomed in <strong>the</strong> capital town<br />
of Slovenia, Ljubljana with some pleasant<br />
wea<strong>the</strong>r. All participants ga<strong>the</strong>red at <strong>the</strong><br />
Lev Hotel where cars were off loaded,<br />
wiped clean and registration took place.<br />
A total of 142 cars entered this year:<br />
43 from France, 28 from Belgium,<br />
20 from Italy, 14 from The Ne<strong>the</strong>rlands,<br />
10 from Finland, 12 from Switzerland,<br />
5 from Germany and Austria, 3 from<br />
Slovenia and 2 from South Africa.<br />
A welcome dinner was held after registration<br />
for all participants at Hotel Lev (Lev is <strong>the</strong><br />
Slovene word for Lion, ra<strong>the</strong>r fitting for <strong>the</strong><br />
occasion). The next morning, all participants<br />
set off on <strong>the</strong> first leg of day 1 to <strong>the</strong><br />
world renowned Postojna Cave. Mr Thierry<br />
<strong>Peugeot</strong> also arrived <strong>the</strong>re in a beautiful<br />
1934 <strong>Peugeot</strong> 402 Limousine. These caves<br />
are absolutely phenomenal. You travel with<br />
a little under ground train via tunnels for<br />
3 km’s before you end up doing a guided tour<br />
for ano<strong>the</strong>r hour on foot. Traditional Slovene<br />
food was served after <strong>the</strong> tour on <strong>the</strong> green<br />
grass just below <strong>the</strong> cave.<br />
After lunch we all depart on <strong>the</strong> second leg<br />
to visit <strong>the</strong> Technical Museum at <strong>the</strong> Bistra<br />
Castle with <strong>the</strong> exceptional collection of<br />
vintage and classic cars which belonged to<br />
Tito, President of ex Yugoslavia. The estate<br />
of Bistra is located in <strong>the</strong> south western part<br />
of <strong>the</strong> Ljubljana Marshes, in <strong>the</strong> vicinity of<br />
<strong>the</strong> town of Vrhnika. It was named after <strong>the</strong><br />
Bistra brook, a tributary of <strong>the</strong> Ljubljanica<br />
River with several karst sources. In <strong>the</strong> past it<br />
was <strong>the</strong> home of Carthusian monks, built by<br />
<strong>the</strong> Carinthian Duke Bernhard of Spannheim<br />
in 1255. In <strong>the</strong> 17th century, it housed a<br />
monks’ school and a library, which kept<br />
numerous valuable manuscripts.<br />
The Technical Museum of Slovenia (Tehniški<br />
muzej Slovenije) was founded in 1951. The<br />
most admirable is its Department of Vintage
Vehicles, whose collection includes Slovenia’s<br />
first electric-powered vehicle, a tram car<br />
which ran along <strong>the</strong> streets of Ljubljana in<br />
<strong>the</strong> year 1901.<br />
The day ended with a gala dinner in <strong>the</strong> halls<br />
of Ljubljana Castle. Mr Thierry <strong>Peugeot</strong><br />
delivered his speech <strong>the</strong>re with emphasis again<br />
on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Peugeot</strong> brand with its rich history.<br />
He also expressed his views on <strong>Peugeot</strong> in<br />
Slovenia and announced that bigger emphasis<br />
and investment will be put into <strong>Peugeot</strong><br />
in o<strong>the</strong>r countries outside Europe, also<br />
referring to Africa. The South African and<br />
Australian participants were welcomed again<br />
for <strong>the</strong>ir great effort in travelling more than<br />
10 000km to attend this meeting.<br />
Sunday morning, everyone left Hotel Lev<br />
again to visit Bled in <strong>the</strong> Gorenjska region<br />
which is known for its beautiful mountains,<br />
pristine nature and its hospitality.<br />
The roads are in good condition and as<br />
far as <strong>the</strong> eye could see, a snake of lovely<br />
classic <strong>Peugeot</strong>s filled <strong>the</strong> roads with many<br />
locals applauding all along <strong>the</strong> route and<br />
through <strong>the</strong> small towns. We were greeted<br />
just past <strong>the</strong> halfway mark with some heavy<br />
rain, when very quick and sudden stops<br />
were made by <strong>the</strong> convertibles to coverup.<br />
It didn’t put a damper on <strong>the</strong> spirit in<br />
any way and all <strong>the</strong> cars were later safely<br />
parked in a special reserved area. Hundreds<br />
of visitors visiting this world renowned<br />
Bled Island forgot all for a moment about<br />
<strong>the</strong> Island and were focussed on <strong>the</strong>se<br />
lovely <strong>Peugeot</strong>s.<br />
Our ga<strong>the</strong>ring was closed at <strong>the</strong> Grand<br />

PEugEOT 4007 SuV<br />
T H E A D D I T I V E D P A T R I C U L A T E F I L T E R (FAP)<br />
SUVs are often criticised for being<br />
environmentally harmful, but now you<br />
can enjoy <strong>the</strong> benefits of an SUV and stay<br />
“green”. By extracting and burning off harmful<br />
particles, <strong>the</strong> new <strong>Peugeot</strong> particulate filter<br />
system (FAP) in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Peugeot</strong> 4007 eliminates<br />
virtually all diesel particles.<br />
It is <strong>the</strong> first 4x4 vehicle with an “additived”<br />
particulate filter, and is proof of <strong>Peugeot</strong>’s<br />
commitment to reducing pollution and<br />
greenhouse gas emissions. The particulate<br />
filter, devised by <strong>Peugeot</strong>, remains <strong>the</strong> ideal<br />
solution for reduced diesel emissions.<br />
Environmental issues have long been a major<br />
concern at <strong>Peugeot</strong>. Numerous solutions have<br />
been applied, starting with <strong>the</strong> development<br />
of efficient, economical diesel engines, whose<br />
lower fuel consumption guarantees lower<br />
emission levels.<br />
The Diesel Advantage<br />
Over <strong>the</strong> years, diesel, <strong>the</strong>n turbodiesel<br />
engines have become increasingly efficient. The<br />
common rail injection system on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Peugeot</strong><br />
engines has fur<strong>the</strong>r increased <strong>the</strong>ir efficiency,<br />
with more power for less fuel: <strong>the</strong> diesel<br />
is exposed to high pressure and distributed<br />
as an extremely fine spray. The only remaining<br />
disadvantage was <strong>the</strong> all too familiar black<br />
smoke from particles in <strong>the</strong> exhaust, because<br />
whilst <strong>the</strong>y emit less CO2, diesels used<br />
to release ten to twenty times more soot<br />
particles than<br />
petrol engines.<br />
Well aware of<br />
this, <strong>the</strong> engineers<br />
at PSA <strong>Peugeot</strong><br />
Citroen have<br />
devoted much<br />
time and effort<br />
to <strong>the</strong> problem,<br />
hence 1996 saw<br />
<strong>the</strong> advent of<br />
<strong>the</strong> oxidation<br />
catalyser. Development continued and an<br />
FAP was created for <strong>the</strong> <strong>Peugeot</strong> 607. With<br />
this filter <strong>Peugeot</strong> found a way to reduce<br />
particle emissions to virtually zero.<br />
Ingenuity and Sophistication<br />
After combustion, diesel engines emit particles.<br />
These consist mainly of carbon microballs<br />

on which hydrocarbons from <strong>the</strong> fuel (<strong>the</strong><br />
diesel, and lubricants) condense. It is <strong>the</strong>se<br />
microscopic contaminants that are filtered<br />
out, using electronically controlled common<br />
rail injection. Thousands of small channels<br />
making up <strong>the</strong> filter are blocked alternately to<br />
force <strong>the</strong> exhaust<br />
gases through it<br />
so as to capture<br />
<strong>the</strong> particles,<br />
which <strong>the</strong>n have<br />
to be burnt off. By<br />
using <strong>the</strong> filtering<br />
process as well<br />
as ‘afterburning’,<br />
harmful emissions<br />
are reduced to<br />
virtually zero.<br />
previous generation. The 2.2 litre HDi engine<br />
has a new combustion chamber which works<br />
in combination with a third generation Bosch<br />
common rail injection system to increase<br />
injections by up to six per cycle, boosting<br />
efficiency and reducing pollution emissions<br />
at source. The air-fuel mixture, which is<br />
optimised to ensure <strong>the</strong> most complete<br />
combustion possible, also reduces noise. The<br />
FAP in <strong>the</strong> 4007 is <strong>the</strong> latest, i.e. “additived”,<br />
version, and is virtually maintenance-free,<br />
having a long service life of an impressive<br />
180 000 kilometres. With an emission<br />
value as low as 191g/km, <strong>the</strong> 4007 not<br />
only meets but greatly exceeds <strong>the</strong> Euro 4<br />
pollution standards, making this SUV very<br />
environmentally-friendly indeed.<br />
Going Even Fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />
Since this spectacular breakthrough, <strong>Peugeot</strong><br />
has still fur<strong>the</strong>r – and quite definitively –<br />
improved <strong>the</strong> FAP. On <strong>the</strong> 4007, an ECCS<br />
common rail injection system combined<br />
with <strong>the</strong> additived particulate filter, reduces<br />
emissions to 30% lower than with <strong>the</strong>
LE MANS<br />
An emotional<br />
LE manS<br />
ROLLERC<br />
For <strong>Peugeot</strong> Sport, <strong>the</strong> 2007 Le<br />
Mans 24 Hours was very much a<br />
learning exercise. None<strong>the</strong>less,<br />
<strong>the</strong> team sprang a surprise by<br />
guiding one of its cars to a<br />
superb second place. Here,<br />
three members of that team<br />
give us an inside line on a motor<br />
race unlike any o<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
‘A cocktail of speed and stress’<br />
Stéphane Sarrazin, driver, 908 n°8.<br />
Qualifying was a major highlight for me<br />
because I set <strong>the</strong> pole position time. It was<br />
very important for <strong>the</strong> whole team to show<br />
that <strong>the</strong> 908 was potentially quicker than<br />
<strong>the</strong> Audis. Everything hinged on Wednesday<br />
evening, when rain and a session stoppage<br />
initially prevented us exploiting <strong>the</strong> car’s<br />
potential to <strong>the</strong> full. But we felt <strong>the</strong>re would<br />
be an opportunity to do something special<br />
before <strong>the</strong> session ended. With about 20<br />
minutes remaining, I got back in <strong>the</strong> car with<br />
<strong>the</strong> intention of going for an ultra-quick lap. I<br />
was absolutely on <strong>the</strong> limit – and I even had<br />
a small moment under braking for <strong>the</strong> first<br />
of <strong>the</strong> Hunaudières chicanes. But I pressed<br />
on to <strong>the</strong> end and my no-holds-barred<br />
approach earned <strong>the</strong> team pole position. I<br />
had a few anxious moments during <strong>the</strong> race,<br />
too, particularly when my engineers called<br />
me into <strong>the</strong> pits at 20:00 for an unscheduled<br />
stop. They had noticed that our running<br />
temperatures had increased in one or two<br />
areas, so naturally I pitted. At that point I<br />
didn’t know why I’d been called in and was<br />
wondering whe<strong>the</strong>r this signalled <strong>the</strong> start of<br />
<strong>the</strong> problems we’d all feared. In fact, it turned<br />
out to be nothing more than a problem with<br />
one of <strong>the</strong> rear wheel assemblies and it was<br />
fixed in about 10 minutes. I <strong>the</strong>n had to stop<br />
again a few laps later, for <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r side of<br />
<strong>the</strong> car to be changed, and after that we<br />
charged as hard as we could to climb back<br />
through <strong>the</strong> field. Our efforts carried us all<br />
<strong>the</strong> way to second place, but <strong>the</strong> final hour<br />
was very worrying. Fortunately Sébastien<br />
(Bourdais) was able to cross <strong>the</strong> finishing line,<br />
despite concerns about <strong>the</strong> oil pressure.<br />
‘A completely mad race’<br />
Christophe Besse, race engineer, 908 n°8<br />
This was my first active involvement in <strong>the</strong><br />
Le Mans 24 Hours – and it is absolutely<br />
incredible, a completely mad race. If nothing<br />
else, it lasts almost a week when you take<br />
<strong>the</strong> qualifying sessions into account. For<br />
race engineers such as me, it is incredibly<br />
demanding because we have to sit on <strong>the</strong><br />
pit counter throughout <strong>the</strong> race – you can’t<br />
allow your concentration to lapse for a<br />
second throughout <strong>the</strong> 24 hours. And, when<br />
it’s your first time, it isn’t easy to work out<br />
<strong>the</strong> best way to stave off fatigue. We have<br />
to keep a constant watch on <strong>the</strong> monitors<br />
and be ready to answer a driver’s question<br />
at any moment. We had two worrying<br />
moments on car n°8 – changing <strong>the</strong> rear<br />
uprights on Saturday evening and, of course,<br />
<strong>the</strong> oil pressure problems that made <strong>the</strong><br />
final moments of <strong>the</strong> race so frantic for<br />
us. Car n°7 had similar problems and had<br />
to retire a few hours from <strong>the</strong> finish, but<br />
I refused to allow that to worry me. Just<br />
because one car had dropped out with such<br />
and such a problem, it didn’t follow that <strong>the</strong><br />
o<strong>the</strong>r would automatically be affected. Even<br />
so, when car n°8’s oil pressure dipped an<br />
hour before <strong>the</strong> end, <strong>the</strong> tension increased.<br />
I stayed calm, though. We were three<br />
laps ahead of <strong>the</strong> third-placed car, which<br />
gave us plenty of time to keep an eye on<br />
things. At times like <strong>the</strong>se not everyone has<br />
access to <strong>the</strong> same information – and that<br />

was concerned everything was under control.<br />
When Sébastien left <strong>the</strong> pits to complete <strong>the</strong><br />
final few minutes of <strong>the</strong> race, I was confident<br />
he would make it across <strong>the</strong> finishing line.<br />
The fact he stopped by <strong>the</strong> side of <strong>the</strong> track<br />
– as a last-minute precaution – added to <strong>the</strong><br />
suspense, but it made our second place all<br />
<strong>the</strong> sweeter.<br />
“We hadn’t dared to imagine a<br />
result like this”<br />
Serge Saulnier, head of <strong>the</strong> Le<br />
Mans programme<br />
If someone had told me that we’d qualify<br />
on pole position and finish second when<br />
<strong>the</strong> 908 made its Le Mans 24 Hours debut,<br />
I wouldn’t have believed <strong>the</strong>m. The result<br />
was a fantastic reward for everyone who<br />
had worked relentlessly on <strong>the</strong> project for<br />
so long. When you look at <strong>the</strong> ground we’ve<br />
covered during <strong>the</strong> past four months…<br />
we simply hadn’t dared to imagine a result<br />
like this. I thought we’d finish <strong>the</strong> race,<br />
but suspected we’d encounter quite a few<br />
problems along <strong>the</strong> way. It’s important to<br />
note that we didn’t go into <strong>the</strong> event with<br />
<strong>the</strong> kind of attitude that prevailed in 1991,<br />
when <strong>the</strong> 905s absolutely flew for three or<br />
four hours but <strong>the</strong>n broke… Our target was<br />
to run for as long as possible, no matter what<br />
happened, and to accumulate <strong>the</strong> maximum<br />
amount of data. Consequently, when we<br />
weren’t able to run at <strong>the</strong> Audis’ pace in <strong>the</strong><br />
early stages, we let <strong>the</strong>m go and focused on<br />
looking after our cars. When <strong>the</strong> sun rises<br />
on Sunday morning and you are sitting on<br />
<strong>the</strong> pit counter, with about 20 coffee cups<br />
in front of you and two cars still running, it’s<br />
a great feeling. That marked <strong>the</strong> beginning of<br />
a critical phase of <strong>the</strong> race for us, because<br />
we were now in a zone we hadn’t explored<br />
during pre-race testing. We were entering<br />
<strong>the</strong> unknown and waiting for problems to<br />
arise, but <strong>the</strong>y weren’t occurring. It wasn’t<br />
until two hours from <strong>the</strong> end that car n°7 ran<br />
into trouble and n°8 encountered difficulties<br />
shortly afterwards, when its oil pressure<br />
dipped to zero. A safety car allowed us to<br />
maintain our advantage over <strong>the</strong> next car,<br />
but even that wasn’t enough. Towards <strong>the</strong><br />
end we had to ask Sébastien (Bourdais) to<br />
stop by <strong>the</strong> edge of <strong>the</strong> track to avoid having<br />
to begin ano<strong>the</strong>r lap before <strong>the</strong> chequered<br />
flag came out. Without that, we can’t be sure<br />
whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> engine would have lasted.

“Someone who knows how to taste wine doesn’t drink it any more, but savours its secrets… “ Salvador Dali<br />
Château Guiraud, or what life has to offer<br />
When Xavier Planty, <strong>the</strong> manager of<br />
Sauternes estate, considered buying <strong>the</strong><br />
Château Guiraud, he appealed for finance<br />
from two of his wine-making friends: Olivier<br />
Bernard, <strong>the</strong> face of Pessac Léognan, and<br />
Stephan Von Neipperg, <strong>the</strong> driving force<br />
behind <strong>the</strong> most amazing success story of<br />
Saint-Émilion. But it was a meeting with<br />
Robert <strong>Peugeot</strong>, Chairman and Managing<br />
Director of <strong>the</strong> family holding company, FFP<br />
(a leading shareholder in <strong>the</strong> car-making<br />
group), that was decisive. <strong>Peugeot</strong> knew <strong>the</strong><br />
area and was familiar with <strong>the</strong> great Bordeaux<br />
wines. Won over by <strong>the</strong> conjunction of<br />
promising factors, he knew that a vintage<br />
wine first classified in 1855 was a world<br />
rarity. Backed by strong world economic<br />
growth, he was convinced that business<br />
had great development potential and of <strong>the</strong><br />
long term viability of such an investment. So<br />
<strong>the</strong> association was born out of a maturely<br />
considered decision by <strong>the</strong> knowledgeable<br />
financier and <strong>the</strong> wine-growers, each an<br />
expert in <strong>the</strong>ir preferred field. Streng<strong>the</strong>ned<br />
by shared values and a well thought out<br />
proposal, <strong>Peugeot</strong> became, in <strong>the</strong> name of<br />
passion and reason, a majority shareholder<br />
in Guiraud.<br />
Château Guiraud wine is everywhere: from<br />
<strong>the</strong> tables of top Parisian restaurants to<br />
<strong>the</strong> wine lists of Emirates Airline. You find<br />
bottles in <strong>the</strong> cellars of American collectors<br />
and at <strong>the</strong> dinner parties of gourmets in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
thirties. These 100 hectares of vines, tucked<br />
between Yquem and Filhot, have become<br />
<strong>the</strong> source of one of <strong>the</strong> most distinctive<br />
vintage wines.<br />
Beneath <strong>the</strong> surface<br />
The avenue of trees leading to <strong>the</strong> château<br />
is impressive. It introduces you to a slightly<br />
austere precision. But when you stand<br />
looking up at <strong>the</strong> estate, <strong>the</strong> receding line of<br />
trees, although planted at <strong>the</strong> same time, is<br />
irregular, subtle evidence that <strong>the</strong> subsoil of<br />
<strong>the</strong> Sauternes region has many strata: sand,<br />

on as you walk among <strong>the</strong> vines. The same<br />
is true of <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r. In <strong>the</strong> mornings, <strong>the</strong><br />

This is how it is in Guiraud, nothing comes<br />
easily. These are <strong>the</strong> secrets that must be<br />
penetrated to understand <strong>the</strong> wine made<br />
here.<br />
A stroll around familiar territory<br />
It doesn’t take much for Xavier Planty to act<br />
as a guide to his land. This seaman’s son, who<br />
preferred <strong>the</strong> call of <strong>the</strong> land to <strong>the</strong> call of<br />
<strong>the</strong> sea, knows every inch of it. He gives you<br />
<strong>the</strong> time of a teacher and <strong>the</strong> precision of a<br />
scholar. To know is to master. Eloquently he<br />
juggles characteristics, talks about sulphur, a<br />
well thought out struggle and next minute<br />
serves you up an historical anecdote. He is<br />
like his wine, surprising and many-faceted,<br />
calling on biology one moment and history<br />
<strong>the</strong> next. Who would have believed that<br />
Guiraud’s black label – <strong>the</strong> only one for a<br />
Sauternes – was prompted by Napoleon’s<br />
funeral? The story of <strong>the</strong> wine is punctuated<br />
by historical events and a curious grouping<br />
of borders: people say that a Roman road<br />
passed <strong>the</strong> château or talk about <strong>the</strong> more<br />
recent establishment of <strong>the</strong> demarcation<br />
line between Occupied and Vichy France.<br />
Guiraud has always been somewhere you<br />
pass through as you travel north from Bazas<br />
on <strong>the</strong> way to Bordeaux.<br />
Nature in control<br />
The true master of <strong>the</strong> Sauternes winegrowing<br />
region is Botrytis Cinerea, that<br />
magnificent fungus which gives wine high<br />
sugar potential (up to 350 g/l) and which is<br />
<strong>the</strong> wine’s distinguishing characteristic. This<br />
wine is <strong>the</strong> product of <strong>the</strong> whims of <strong>the</strong><br />
wea<strong>the</strong>r and tricky and restrictive growing<br />
conditions. At Guiraud, <strong>the</strong> vineyard is shared<br />
by two varieties: <strong>the</strong> majority is Sémillon<br />
while a third of <strong>the</strong> planting is Sauvignon<br />
and it is a point of honour to use natural<br />
methods to make <strong>the</strong> wine. Out with<br />
chemicals, everything is done to encourage<br />
nature to keep what is rightfully hers: selecting<br />
<strong>the</strong> best rootstocks, a conservation bank of<br />
vine stocks unique to <strong>the</strong> Sauternes area and<br />
a grafting house where species are identified<br />
and replacements propagated. Similarly, <strong>the</strong><br />
presence of a 100% bio purification unit, <strong>the</strong><br />
absence of “chaptalisation” (added sugar per<br />
The 15th century building at Guiraud and its French style garden.

of must) and cryoextraction (freezing <strong>the</strong><br />
fruit) are some of <strong>the</strong> processes designed<br />
to increase biodiversity. This is far from a<br />
response to fashion, it is a philosophy. The<br />
staff are working on new vines, with a better<br />
characteristic and benefiting from patiently<br />
replanted hedges of fig trees and o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
species that Xavier Planty has selected from<br />
local conservation banks. These indicators<br />
of insects and predators are a sign that <strong>the</strong><br />
balance is being maintained.<br />
Experienced men and women<br />
But what would <strong>the</strong>se natural tendencies be<br />
without <strong>the</strong> most amazing people of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
day? In <strong>the</strong> late 18th century, <strong>the</strong> Maison<br />
noble du Bayle belonged to <strong>the</strong> Guiraud area,<br />
Protestant merchants (author’s note: <strong>the</strong>re<br />
is still a temple) <strong>the</strong>n went from bankers to<br />
merchants, from progressives to royalists.<br />
The estate would <strong>the</strong>n lose its name… After<br />
<strong>the</strong> occupation, Guiraud came back to life<br />
until <strong>the</strong> 1980s when major works were<br />
carried out to relaunch <strong>the</strong> estate. Today,<br />
a new chapter is being written. “Everything<br />
depends on <strong>the</strong> moment of picking,” says<br />
Xavier Planty. “My role <strong>the</strong>n is to know how<br />
to extract and find <strong>the</strong> flavours in <strong>the</strong> grape<br />
skin.” The sine qua non condition for a good<br />
vintage is careful harvesting. 150 experienced<br />
grape-pickers, mostly women, prepare to<br />
pick by hand. The basket, placed at <strong>the</strong> end<br />
of <strong>the</strong> row, is far from full and picking goes<br />
on day after day, bunch by bunch, in a series<br />
of sessions, as <strong>the</strong> Botrytis does its work.<br />
Quality is <strong>the</strong> mo<strong>the</strong>r of scarcity. With 6,660<br />
vines per hectare, <strong>the</strong> château’s average<br />
yield is about 1,500 l per hectare. The 2006<br />
vintage numbered 5,500 cases, almost 5,000<br />
of which have already been sold even though<br />
<strong>the</strong>y won’t be available until 2008. This was<br />
half <strong>the</strong> 2005 quantity.<br />
An amusing and sophisticated wine<br />
Guiraud produces an average of 100 000<br />
bottles a year, a second wine and a dry white,<br />
G de Guiraud, whose name is reminiscent<br />
of a perfume. In fact, after fermentation and<br />
maturing in new barrels, <strong>the</strong> creative work<br />
is very similar to that done by a perfume<br />
designer. Making a wine means blending,<br />
putting words to sensations and revealing<br />
a soul. It is about composing notes and<br />
harmonies. Our host talks about ”setting it<br />
to music”. Depending on <strong>the</strong> vintage, <strong>the</strong><br />
wine will have a mentholated freshness,<br />
be full bodied, have spicy, honey, caramel,<br />
nutmeg aromas or fruity notes of pear or<br />
vanilla. “When <strong>the</strong> wine is drawn it must<br />
be drunk. Especially if it’s good,” says <strong>the</strong><br />
critic. Xavier Planty is of <strong>the</strong> same opinion,<br />
“Sauternes must be drunk young!” he says. Of<br />
<strong>the</strong> outstanding wines since 2000, he prefers<br />
to remember <strong>the</strong> 1999 vintage, disdained<br />
by <strong>the</strong> critics and more complex, but<br />
revealing <strong>the</strong> secrets of a little known year,<br />
which merited greater respect.<br />
The worldwide prestige of a<br />
registered label<br />
It must be acknowledged that Sauternes<br />
suits <strong>the</strong> taste of <strong>the</strong> whole world. Good<br />
served with <strong>the</strong> eternal fois gras, but also<br />
with chocolate, blue cheeses, Japanese<br />
food, fish in sauce or with poultry, this<br />
wine is snatched up in Asia, Taiwan, Italy<br />
and Australia. Nowadays, half <strong>the</strong> sales are<br />
to o<strong>the</strong>r countries, and despite increasing<br />
competition from Hungarian vineyards, <strong>the</strong><br />
prestige of <strong>the</strong> Sauternes label is unaffected.<br />
What of <strong>the</strong> future? The team sees it as<br />
<strong>the</strong> colour of <strong>the</strong>ir wine, ra<strong>the</strong>r golden. The<br />
Château has just introduced a new quietly<br />
elegant and classy label, a perfect image<br />
of what Guiraud is today: a surprising and<br />
modern wine of contrasts, based on a<br />
meticulous tradition. The next step will be<br />
some works on <strong>the</strong> building to restore <strong>the</strong><br />
discreet lustre of bourgeois houses in <strong>the</strong><br />
Sauternes area that time has erased… and<br />
<strong>the</strong>re is already talk of starting up elsewhere,<br />
this time venturing into red wine. But that’s<br />
ano<strong>the</strong>r story.<br />

GTi just became fun.<br />
www.peugeot.co.za<br />
The new <strong>Peugeot</strong> 207 GTi is just as fun as it is fast, with its remarkably refined<br />
1.6 litre, 128kW engine. Its direct fuel injection makes for a more even mix<br />
of fuel and air – which means more power. Add to that a turbocharger with<br />
overboost and an impressive list of performance features, and <strong>the</strong> result is<br />
a breathtaking top speed of 220km/h,* with <strong>the</strong> ability to accelerate from<br />
0-100km/h in 7.1 seconds. Little wonder <strong>the</strong>n, that <strong>the</strong> <strong>Peugeot</strong> 207 GTi’s<br />
engine drove off with <strong>the</strong> International Engine of <strong>the</strong> Year Award in 2007.<br />
