Even better, is the 2010 Condrieu Les Vieilles Vignes de Jacques Vernay. Unfortunately, there are only about 120 cases of this cuvee, which is made from a vineyard planted in 1948 on pure granite. A stunning perfume of white flowers, lychee nuts, peaches, apricots and orange zest are present in this explosively aromatic white wine. In the mouth, it reveals full-bodied flavors as well as terrific acidity and minerality. Drink this stunner over the next 4-5 years, although I would not be surprised to see it last a decade or more. Ogier's wines just keep getting better and better, so if you haven-t yet jumped on the Ogier bandwagon, it's time to do so. Michel Ogier, and more recently his son, Stephane, are the leading craftsmen in terms of wines from the steep hillsides north of the old Roman town of Vienne. These are still entitled to only a VDP designation, but current vintages are the finest he has yet produced.Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
