In 1996, Domaine Coche-Dury introduced a new wine to his line-up: the Meursault Caillerets. This is the first wine produced (only 1,000 bottles) from these recently planted vines. The wine exhibits a refined nose of chalk and minerals. It has breathtaking finesse and precision as well as a full-bodied, wild mushroom, stone, juniper berry, clove, and poached pear-flavored character. As I was scribbling my notes, Coche approached and said, "yes it is quite good, but the '97 will be superb!" I recommend drinking this beauty between 2000 and 2004.
