  • About the Producer

    Didier Fornerol was managing the wines and winemaking at the rundown Jules Belin estate when Jean-Pierre de Smet purchased it on behalf of AXA in 1986. He became Jean-Pierre’s right-hand man when it was rechristened Domaine de l’Arlot, and remained there until 1999, when he devoted himself fully to his family domaine in Corgoloin. They still make wine together every year, and in recent times Jean-Pierre’s involvement has increased.

     

  • About the Latest Vintage

    Didier lost 25% of his typical harvest of white wines in 2021, but his yields of red were about the same as in 2020 – down from the norm, but not dramatically so. Only the Rue des Foins was badly affected, and yields there are down 50%. 

    The year was hard work. The plentiful rain made the ground soggy, so unless a grower had a tracked vehicle (the preserve of larger, richer domaines), the vineyards were impassable to tractors. Consequently a lot of the work had to be done manually. Nonetheless, Didier kept his vines in shape, and disease at bay with the minimum number of treatments, and while there was more grass between the rows than he would have liked, he avoided botrytis late in the season. At harvest on 18th September his fruit was perfectly ripe and healthy, and needed no sorting, so he was able to use 100% whole bunches as normal. Natural levels of alcohol of 12.7% to 13% meant he did not need to chaptalize. To avoid the risk of over-extraction, he eased back on punching down the fermenting must. 

    He has excelled this year. The wines are pure, fruit-driven and seductive.
