"Since 2011 comes after two amazing vintages, it's destined to be ignored by many people," according to winemaker and director Alberic Mazoyer.That said, he thinks that 2011 "will probably turn out to be superior to the other so-called little years, since 2003 (2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008, specifically)," with more fruit as well as bright acidity."It's a very charming year, with lots of appealing fruit and gentle tannins," he added. "The wines have energy and will be great for drinking over the next five years, at least.They should be drunk up by the time you start in on the 2010s, which deserve patience."There will be no Vieilles Fontaines in 2011 because Mazoyer thinks that Fontaines should showcase the power and ageworthiness of Cornas and this isn't that type of vintage.The set of 2010s here is extremely strong; in fact, it's the most impressive group of wines I can recall tasting chez Voge, but readers are strongly advised to resist the temptation to open them too young.Mazoyer told me, "these are wines that have the potential to be the best since at least 1978," and he hopes that enough bottles are still around 35 years from now to make that point.
