The tangy, spiced wood-scented 2000 Pinot Gris Cuvee Apollinaire displays poached pear and white peach flavors that are significantly marked by oak. Light to medium-bodied, this wine will most appeal to those readers who enjoy internationally-styled wines. Drink it over the next 3 years. The youthful Jean-Christophe Bott, this winery's winemaker and director, believes 2000 "is not an exceptional vintage, yet is outstanding. The last extraordinary year we had was 1990. That being said, the 2000s all have beautiful richness of fruit and some have excellent acidity."Importer: European Cellars, Eric Solomon, Charlotte, NC; tel.
