Vintage 2008

 An indifferent spring caused uneven flowering and mildew risk. At the end of June the weather changed for the better, continuing into July. Apart from local hail in the Côte de Beaune at the end of July, the summer began well. August arrived fairly cold and variable, but fortunately the last week of the month brought fine, warm weather. The lead-up to harvest saw sunny skies, apart from two days of rain in mid-September. A challenging vintage.

From day one the red wines have had a rich, pure fruit character with fine, silky tannins. The whites offer a good balance between ripe fruit and vibrant acidity. A vintage not to be overlooked because the wines deliver potential and pleasure.

Written Notes

This was the controversial wine – there is always at least one – at 2011 Sipnot.

Funk. Lots of funk. Too much funk. Rustic, earthy. Many questioned if bretty. I could not see that and tests apparently showed it to be free from it. Whatever, it was very much at the extreme end of the spectrum. Stemmy, briary.

Underneath all this, some complexity, concentration and power but not enough to save it.

I have been a fan of de l'Arlot for some time, though have not seen much in recent years. This has not helped their cause.

Other comments from the table included, 'footy socks', 'a teenage boy's room' and 'this is what pinot used to be like', though I have no idea if that is a good or a bad thing.

Certainly plenty of interest. Others liked it more than I did; still others liked it even less.
