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.
It was a hot year, but the vines did not suffer from drought stress, as rain came at the right time in June and August. There was an issue with powdery mildew, but it was caught in time, and by the harvest on 20 August, Didier’s vines were in good shape, giving a generous crop of beautifully healthy grapes. He has produced a super set of wines, with modest alcohol levels and great staying power.
