The four 1993s reviewed in this issue include three strikingly pretty dry wines, and one very sweet dessert-styled wine (the Marigny Moelleux). The 1993 Vouvray Demi-Sec Les Girardieres (from 40-year old vines) is a slightly off-dry wine with vibrantly high acidity, terrific purity and balance, and loads of honeyed, melony, and tropical fruit intermingled with a flinty, mineral-like character. It will provide delicious drinking over the next several years. This low-tech domaine, which primarily practices organic farming, combined with the use of indigenous yeasts from the vineyard for fermentation, has become one of the new darlings of the French press. Imported by Weygandt-Metzler, Box 56, Unionville, PA 19375. The telephone number is (610) 486-0800; fax (610) 932-0279.
