Lilies, assorted white flowers, minerals, slate, and spices can be discerned in the nose of the 2002 Alliance Vergisson. A medium-bodied wine of considerable breadth, precision, flesh, and density, it coats the palate with minerals, slate, flint, sap, apples, and hints of white peaches. This wine has outstanding ripeness, balance, and length. Drink it over the next 7 years. Importer: North Berkeley Imports, Berkeley, CA; tel.
