Stephane Montez calls 2001 his finest vintage yet forx000D white wines, "an accurate expression of terroir and cepage." Following a hot summer, cool nights inx000D September allowed for clean grapes with good retention of acidity. He left the wines longer on their bourbes tox000D get a more glyceral character. Montezx000D harvested his red grapes before and after the rain, but noted that one couldx000D wait for more ripeness if the skins were still in good condition. My tasting included wines bottled under bothx000D the Vignobles du Monteillet (which Montez vinifies from vines belonging to thex000D family domain) and Domaine du Monteillet labels. (Weygandt-Metzler Importing, Unionville, PA) Also recommended: 2001 Condrieu Les Grandes Chaillees (Vignobles du Monteillet).

The voluble Stephane Montez characterizes the 2000s as fruity, round vins de plaisir especially compared to the '99s, which are firmer, more tannic wines made from grapes with chewier skins. "We started with less color and tannins in 2000, and it was necessary to work the grapes, with the objective of getting fat and color but not more tannins," he explained. Following his normal week-long cold maceration, Montez did more punching down of the cap and pumping over, and up to a full month of maceration.
