"Nineteen ninety-nine is one of the four best vintages of the century for our appellation, along with '61, '47 and '21," opines Jean-Michel Gerin; "but the key to making balanced wines in '99 was controlling yields." "But is 1999 typical Cote-Rotie?" I asked. "I don't know if it's typical," he replied, "but it's great, especially if the function of wine is to give pleasure." The '99s, Gerin adds, are built for long aging. In comparison, he says, the 2000s are almost ready to drink, like the '98s.
