The 2000 Pouilly-Fuisse Vers Cras was vinified and aged in 90% new oak barrels, yet the wine is in no way marked by wood. It reveals earthy mineral aromas and a tangy, zesty, medium-bodied personality. Hugely concentrated, this is a muscular, fresh, boisterous wine with an admirably persistent finish. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2012+. Importer: Weygandt-Metzler, Peter Weygandt, Unionville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800.
