Tasting notes
Quite forward on the nose for a young Roulot wine (Jean-Marc made this wine) with gorgeously detailed fruit and intense citrus and mineral notes followed by lively, medium weight flavors of real distinction. Despite the forward nose, there is plenty of underlying material plus ripe acidity all in a tightly wrapped package. Classy, long and almost exotic, this is clearly of grand cru quality and should drink well for many years to come.

The 1999 Puligny-Montrachet Les Caillerets, tasted in Domaine Guy Roulot's cellar, offers white flower, stone, and hints of dried honey in its aromas. This rich, medium-bodied, broad, and beautifully elegant wine is packed with honeyed, stone flavors as well as a myriad of spices. It is well-concentrated, elegant, and begged to be consumed right from the cask. Anticipated maturity: now-2006. Importer: Neal Rosenthal Wine Merchant, New York, NY; tel (800) 910-1990.
