2002 Domaine Roger Lassarat Pouilly-Fuissé Clos de France

(made in barriques, a small percentage of which were new) Pure, expressive aromas of lemon, tangerine, mint, minerals, clove and nutmeg. Supple and spicy in the mouth, with bright flavors of lemon, smoke and minerals. Just a tad dry on the finish. In comparison to this wine, the North Berkeley cuvee is oakier but also more youthful and perhaps a tad longer.
