Pierre-Henri Morel, Chapoutier's commercial director, describes 2008 as "a vintage of the hills, completely. If you didn't have good terroir you suffered the effects of the season: the mildew in the summer and the late rains in particular." Two thousand nine, on the other hand, "was a year where even the less-blessed vineyards were able to produce good fruit because it was a flawless growing season, with enough warmth for very good ripeness but not so much that there was a lot of risk of getting roasted fruit." (Terlato Wines International, Lake Bluff, IL) Also recommended: 2008 Gigondas (85), 2008 Chateauneuf du Pape La Bernardine (86), 2008 Hermitage La Monier de la Sizeranne (86).
