The 2001 Condrieu La Galopine is a fruity, light-styled, tank-fermented wine. It offers excellent peach, apricot, and honeysuckle-like fruit in a crisp, medium-bodied, pure, fresh style. Enjoy it over the next 12-16 months. The 2001 white wines possess good aromatics, medium body, and zesty, refreshing acidity. They are not big, voluminous examples (as some 2000s can be), but are delicious whites destined to be drunk early in life. Importer: Maison Marques et Domaines, Oakland, CA; tel. (510) 587-2000

A bit unfocused, but full-bodied and thick-textured. Some nice honey, milk chocolate, lemon, dried fruit (apricot, peach and fig). A smooth Viognier, with a mineral touch on the lingering finish. Well-made. Drink now through 2010. 1,100 cases made. -PM

A dry, citrusy wine, and very youthful. Fresh young acids scour the palate, carrying flavors of lime and tobacco, although there are richer stone fruit notes buried deep. Not a big wine, but elegant. The acids will preserve it if you choose to cellar for five years.——S.H.(1/1/2002)—— 89
