Domaine de l'Arlot

Olivier Leriche picked his white grapes on September 7th, then attacked the pinot on the 9th, bringing in an average of 44 hectoliters per hectare, the second largest crop here after 1999 (2005 was third-largest). With potential alcohol levels in a high 13% to 13.7% range, Leriche relied heavily on vendange entier, as he believes that fermenting with stems gives more elegance to his wines. He did very little pigeage in 2009, with some cuvees only being punched down six or seven times in all. Incidentally, the 2008s, which finished their malos at roughly the same time as the 2009s (between October of '09 and January of '10), were not bottled until June, following a few months of natural sedimentation in vat. But they have turned out extremely well.
