If you like your Condrieu and Cote-Rotie fresh and elegant, "in other words, typical," then 2011 is your kind of vintage, according to Yves Gangloff.He told me that "the acidity sharpens the sense of site and the fruit is fresh, with no roasted character, which is a potential danger in 2009, for example."He actually prefers his 2011 Condrieu to the larger scaled 2010 because of its "precision and minerality" while the '10 is "a bigger, meatier wine that impresses you with power and not elegance."He prefers his 2010 reds to his '09s for the same reason."You see the vineyard in the '10s," he said, "while in '09 you see the season, which was a good one, but it can dominate the wines."
