Candied apples dusted with dried honey are found in the nose of the medium to full-bodied 2004 Pouilly-Fuisse Vers Cras. This expansive, concentrated, intense wine is rich, pure, and lively. Its deep personality is awash in honeyed minerals, spices, and pears. A highly expressive wine, it also sports an immensely long, flavor-packed finish. Drink it over the next 5 years. “This was a difficult vintage, no doubt,” said Christophe Cordier, “We never stopped working for an instant.” He went on to add that even though the July 20 hail storm devastated some of his best parcels (there is no Pouilly-Fuisse Metertiere in 2004, for example), “We were still luckier than our friends in the Cote de Beaune because here in the south we actually got some sun and warmth at times.” Cordier did two harvests in his Pouilly-Fuisse vineyards, declassifying the first fruit that was picked to make a Macon-Fuisse and only using the results of his second, later harvests for his Pouilly-Fuisses. In addition, Cordier sorted through all the clusters, throwing out all the ones damaged by hail or oidium.Various American importers including Weygandt-Metzler, Peter Weygandt, Unionville, PA; tel.
