Reviews for 2002 Vintage From the The Wine Advocate, Issue 153 (June 2004): "Points: 90-92. Yes, Jean-Pierre Latour’s 2002 Meursault Caillerets is produced from a parcel located just on the other side of a wall which separates it from Domaine de la Pousse d’Or’s Volnay Caillerets vineyard. This outstanding wine displays rich, warm, embracing aromas of spicy black cherries and blackberries. Its broad, medium to full-bodied personality exhibits gorgeous depth, amplitude, and ripeness. Candied cherries immersed in spices make up this engaging effort’s flavor profile. Projected maturity: 2006-2013." © The Wine Advocate
