Jean-Louis and Gerard Chave opened a bottle of the 2003 Hermitage Blanc to give me an idea of how this vintage is aging

Meyney other_regions impeccably balancedThe 2010 Meyney is a superb follow up to the 2009, perhaps displaying more definition to the dusky black fruit, sous bois, graphite and pressed rose petal scents that burst from the glass. The palate is medium bodied with fine grained tannins, a clean line of acidity and more precision on the finish compared to the previous vintage. Excellent. Tasted at a vertical at Chteau Meyney.
