The 2000 Pouilly-Fuisse Au Metertiere was harvested at the end of October because of the rains that blanketed the region in late September and early October. It offers a smoky, mineral-scented nose and a super-ripe, focused, and tangy personality. While it is outstanding, coating the palate with copious quantities of minerals and citrus fruits, this wine lacks the concentration and depth of Cordier's finest Metertieres. Drink it over the next 8-9 years. Importer: Weygandt-Metzler, Peter Weygandt, Unionville, PA; tel. (610) 486-0800.
