Community Tasting Notes (average 93 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 12 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Burgnick on 5/3/2024 & rated 92 points: Razor-like acidity despite a more challenging vintage. Very focused and precise yet it could still benefit from a few more year of aging. (312 views)
 Tasted by hprphf on 6/30/2023 & rated 93 points: 1255. Ever so slightly oxidized but fine by me, somewhat unsurprisingly underripe, concentrated, small crop vintage showing the advantage. ~92-93 (821 views)
 Tasted by wxs2102 on 12/9/2022 & rated 96 points: At Manhatta NYC off the list. Fat and Smokey nose. Fluid and creamy mouthfeel. Whoa, that finish - goes on and on and filled with flint and smoke and wet rocks. Incredible to tease this much complexity out. A masterful bottling. (893 views)
 Tasted by pbaek on 10/31/2022: Golden color. Brine and salt on the nose. Toffee notes on the palate, round and smooth, salty. Quite advanced. Ready to drink and I wouldn’t keep this much longer. In Beaune. (905 views)
 Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 5/10/2022: There's gentle mineral reduction to the nose along with some lightly exotic things. It has some almond butter and the palate is full and intense but with an airy quality. It is very Meursault, but also very Roulot with its precision and elegance. The finish has real authority and length. (1317 views)
 Tasted by Montesquieu on 5/8/2022 & rated 92 points: Mirazur restaurant, Velo Roussillon cycling trip (Menton, France): This suffers in comparison on quality and price to the other whites this night at Mirazur. Didn't find the depth of flavor that a truly great Meursault would offer. (1284 views)
 Tasted by drej5000 on 10/31/2021 & rated 93 points: m+ intens. kalkete aromaer. steinrøys. hvit frukt. sitronvann. mineralsk utrykk. 8 fylde 9 syre. fokusert, stram, sitronvann, lime. lang jordsmonnspreget utgang. svært god vin. (1111 views)
 Tasted by vinkeger on 10/30/2021 & rated 92 points: Gulere på nese her, har litt av den typiske 16-tropiske frukten. God fedme i munn. Mer kons og lengde her. Ganske bra med tyngde. For min smak kunne det vært litt mer løft, men for all del, dette er en bra village. (814 views)
 Tasted by hajoha on 6/15/2020 & rated 93 points: Roulot Meursault Les Tesson Clos de Mon Plaisir 2016.
Krystallklar, kritt, flint, så ren og vibrerende.
Fremkaller vann i munn med sin saftige presise frukt.
Legger på seg med luft, og blir nesten litt lubben.
Likevel helt superb balanse.
Konsentrert og fresh med små dryss av kryddertoner.
Lang med nydelig mineralitet. 93p (1468 views)
 Tasted by jrh82 on 1/28/2020 flawed bottle: Not correct bottle (1037 views)
 Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 6/12/2018: Drinks like a 1er Cru. There’s richness coupled with finesse. White peach fruit is tinged with spice. It has great shape in the mouth, with a fruit sweet heart and great drive and length. (1783 views)

Burgundy

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson

# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates

# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson

# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson

# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio

Meursault

Located in Cote de Beaune, south of Volnay and north of Puligny Montrachet. Meursault ("Murr-so") has historically been Burgundy's center for white wine production. In fact, nearly all of the 2.5 million bottles produced from 440 ha (1,090 acres) are whites. The soil is a mixture of marl and chalk and is perfectly suited to the production of chardonnay. Meursault wines are known for aromas of hazelnuts, honey and vanilla for its aromas and creamy, almost olive oilllike texture. There are no grand crus in Meursault, though Les Perrières, Les Genevrières and Les Charmes produce remarkable wines. Further, some of the most well-known vineyards of Meursault such as Narvaux and Limozin are not premier cru but Villages-classified vineyards. Recent top vintages include 2008, 2007, 2005, 2002, 1999, 1996, 1993, 1990.


With 437ha. of vineyards dedicated to Villages wine or Premier Cru, Meursault has the largest area permitted to be planted in white wine in the Cote-d'Or. Furthermore, despite the fact that the village lacks even one grand cru, Meursault has historically been Burgundy's center for white wine production, in the past even more so than Puligny-Montrachet or Chassagne-Montrachet. While much of those two villages had in the past been planted to red grapes, Meursault has always been white wine territory. In fact, the modern day vineyard of Les Combettes in Puligny-Montrachet, which forms a continuous chain with the premier crus of Meursault, was once considered part of Meursault and not Puligny, where the many nearby vineyards produced red wine. There are several important factors that determine the reputation of Meursault. Primarily, the soil throughout most of Meursault is perfectly suited to the production of chardonnay; it is a mixture of marl and chalk, that when combined with a largely east or southeast exposure creates healthy grapes that are full of character. Another factor correlates to geology, though in a very different way. Meursault's high water table allows its residents to carve deep, cold cellars "perfect for the production of wine" into the chalky, stony soil. So, while large negociants from Beaune dominated the production and marketing of Burgundy throughout time, Meursault remained a wine of its own citizens. Contributing to this, since red wine has been more prized throughout time, these same negociants looked elsewhere for sources because the wine of Meursault has always been white.

What makes the wine so special? The most common descriptors attached to Meursault are hazelnuts, honey and vanilla for its aromas and creamy for its texture. However, this simplifies things quite a bit. In most cases, Meursault despite an almost olive-oil texture is countered by a precise mineral character, stoniness and a more refined overall palate than, for instance, Chassagne-Montrachet. It's the unique stony/mineral character that often gets lost when tasting Meursault, as many concentrate on the ripe, hedonistic primary flavors and aromas. It's the bipolarity of the wine, the interplay of both factors, that makes Meursault one of the most sought after white wines in the world. As mentioned above, there are no grand crus in Meursault, though many would argue that Perrieres, Genevrieres and Charmes can attain these lofty heights in the hands of the best producers. Further, some of the most well-known vineyards of Meursault such as Narvaux and Limozin are not premier cru but Villages-classified vineyards, though again, the best examples are clearly of higher quality. source: http://www.burgundywinecompany.com/wines/display.php?subregion=Meursault
