The 100% Roussanne cuvee, the 2000 St.-Joseph Coteau St.-Pierre, exhibits a tell-tale perfume of rose water intermixed with honey, roasted nuts, and a touch of caramel. Fat, medium-bodied, and expansive, it will drink well for 2-3 years. Although the 2000 whites are lighter and less intense than usual, they remain tasty.
