"Chaptalization is a crutch for people who aren't careful about getting proper ripeness in the vineyard," Thierry Allemand told me in November. "That shouldn't be a concern in Cornas but it's abused nonetheless. If it isn't done judiciously it gives an artificial impression of fruit and a heaviness to the wine. That makes it tiring to drink, especially with food, and of course it's a distraction from the wine's real character." He reiterated his commitment to minimal sulfur treatments and told me that his 2008s received the absolute minimum that he could manage and still be assured of their ability to be shipped. "It's risky but there's no question that the more you push up your sulfur treatment the more you mask and deaden the fruit. You trade the purity of the wine for the assurance of stability, which unquestionably is a compromise."
