2002 vintage. All meunier in honor of Rene Collard the Marne Valley meunier master. Great acid structure, but with broadness from the grape, barrel development, and aging on the cork. This is labeled de Meric, but it's the same single-foeder production as later disgorgments labeled Ginsburg. — 9 years ago

Bright, tight, and champing at the bit. Racy acid and cool fruit sitting nimbly on a perch of earth and spice. Finish that won't quit. Drank it too soon but still a great treat. Gift from a colleague at my wife's job. I've never met her but I like her. A lot. — 8 years ago

With my wife. The wine was pale lemon in colour and offered bouquet of flowers, citrus, peach, orange peel, almond, fresh sea breeze and mineral notes on the nose. On the palate the wine showed white flowers, stone fruit, peach, orange peel and almond, complicated by a salty mineral touch, paired with medium-level acidity, a great, buttery mouthfeel, and very good length. The medium- to full-bodied wine had good complexity and tasted concentrated yet fresh. A great Condrieu! 92 — 11 years ago

Cuvee of Merlot and Cabernet Franc (possibly with some Malbec and/or Petit Verdot)
Mature brownish red garnet. Transparent but youthful for its age.
Classic claret perfume from the first second of opening and kept getting better as the night went on. Truffle, shiitake mushroom, old leather, potpourri.
Complete integration with no sign of stumbling over the hill. Bright red fruit, smoky cedar, earthy soil tone, cooking spices. The mouthfeel is supple and elegant, no excess or pretension. Clean and fully mature.
A birthday bottle opened for by a dear friend and a reason why I am so devoted to this wonderful journey. Last long in memory. 92. — 8 years ago
