Latour-Giraud's 2000 Meursault Genevrieres Cuvee des Pierre sports a boisterous spice and mineral-laden nose. Medium-bodied and gorgeously expressive, it butters the palate with red/white berries, spices, minerals, and poached pears. Satin-textured, concentrated, and focused, this is an admirably persistent wine. Projected maturity: now-2012.
