The light to medium-bodied, toasted mineral-scented 2001 Pouilly-Fuisse La Verchere Vieilles Vignes is a lush, broad, crystalline beauty. Pears, minerals, and stones can be found in its complex flavor profile. In addition, this satin-textured, fleshy wine reveals an exquisitely long finish. Projected maturity: now-2010.
