The dark ruby, almost black-colored 1999 Meursault Caillerets Cuvee Selectionee exhibits black cherry and blackberry aromas. Super-ripe dark fruits, fresh herbs, minerals, and stones can be found in this plump, medium-bodied wine. Its finish is somewhat firm, yet it is one of the finest red Meursaults I have tasted. Drink it over the next 4 years. This is a special, unfined and unfiltered selection marketed throughout the world by Patrick Lesec, one of the estate's international representatives.
