The 2000 St.-Joseph Lyseras (75% Marsanne and 25% Roussanne, all barrel-fermented) exhibits crisp citrus/grapefruit notes with a hint of honey. It is a pleasant, medium-bodied, elegant offering to enjoy over the next year. Although the 2000 whites are lighter and less intense than usual, they remain tasty.
