Event Details
 
Savvy wine buyers know that it is a mistake to judge individual wines on the basis of a vintage’s reputation. Take 2000 northern Rhônes for example. It was a huge crop and many wines, while quite drinkable and pleasing, just don’t have the structure to be considered first rate. Certainly the wine critics, particularly our friend Bob Parker, have pointed this out. Yet, a number of vanguard northern Rhône producers were able to make spectacular wines despite the challenges of the vintage. Even Mr. Parker fell in love with several! So, for the benefit of 18 die-hard Rhône fans, EWS has assembled the pinnacle of performance for 2000 northern Rhônes. We’ll begin with a flight of spectacular white 2000s: Hermitage Blanc (J.-L. Chave) (95WA, 91+IWC) • Hermitage Blanc “Cuvée de l’Orée” (Chapoutier) (100WA) • Condrieu “La Doriane” (Guigal) (93WA) Then it comes to the main event, a blind tasting of a “top ten” group of northern Rhônes from 2000: Cornas (A. Clape) (91WA) • Cornas “Vieilles Vignes” (Tardieu-Laurent) (91-93WA) • Cote Rotie “La Belle Helene” (M. Ogier) (93WA, 91-92IWC) • Cote Rotie “Les Rochains” (P. & C. Bonnefond) (an EWS discovery!) • Cote Rotie “Cote Blonde” (R. Rostaing) (92WA, 92-94IWC) • Ermitage “Le Meal” (Chapoutier) (95WA, 92IWC) • Ermitage “Le Pavillon” (Chapoutier) (98+WA, 92+IWC) • Hermitage (Guigal) (97WS) • Hermitage (J.-L. Chave) (96WA, 94+IWC) • Hermitage “Cuvée Emilie” (Remizieres) (92WA, 91IWC)
