If the 2002 Emotions de Terroirs is any example, I believe consumers will flock to Girardin’s new creation. Its boisterous, spicy nose displays loads of yellow plums, white peaches, and pears. Medium-bodied, satiny-textured, and lush, this expressive, fresh, silky-textured wine is rich, packed with spiced pears, hazelnuts, and tangy minerals. Its long, supple finish displays additional layers of sweet ripe apples. While this blend of terroirs goes against the single vineyard-itis philosophy, I have no doubt that it is a better wine than its component parts. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802. In addition, Vincent Girardin sells many of these same wines under the Baron de la Charriere label to European Cellars, Eric Solomon, New York, NY; tel. (212) 924-4949
