| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.5 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 56 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/1/2024 & rated 93 points: Some Wine Tasted at the Acker La Paulée Auction (Maybourne Hotel - Beverly Hills CA): Tasted at auction. Complex array of fresh and mature orchard fruit with a charming perfume. That rare Roulot that seems to be getting even better after 10 yo, but his 2007s were magical from the start. (453 views) | | | Tasted by godx on 10/27/2023 & rated 94 points: Tasted blind. After 30-60 minutes in the decanter this was banging and never stopped. Colour was a touch darker yellow than the 04 Luchets but was every bit as youthful and fresh. The lemon custard and saline nose was stunning and I would have bet the farm this was Raveneau. Palate was intense and full of energy with more citrus and minerality. Perfectly balanced acidity and weight, with excellent cut. Really outstanding. (330 views) | | | Tasted by Vinvidz on 3/22/2023 & rated 92 points: Light yellow. Fresh stone fruit and minerals on nose. Lovely palate of still primary stone fruit driven by a salinity and acidity. A bit lean and less structure in the middle but still an excellent Roulot. Interesting comparison with a Richard Leroy 2007 which was much more evolved with tertiary notes. (652 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 5/22/2021 & rated 92 points: In magnum. Mineral driven, high acid, and good precision. (1964 views) | | | Tasted by rlove on 11/27/2020 & rated 93 points: Roulot's 2007 Tessons Clos de Mon Plaisir is a complete wine with dense fruit, lively florals, and a saline quality that in sum reminds me of aged Raveneau. Balanced, uniform acidity brightens the concentrated orchard fruit flavors and keeps things vibrant. Lengthy saline finish. Very good indeed. (2000 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 10/3/2020 & rated 92 points: In magnum. Salty minerals, citrus squeeze and crushed stones. Good tension on the palate. Excellent. 92-93 (2030 views) | | | Tasted by Marcel NZ on 7/1/2020: 94 pale gold , well developed but no hurry, mineral precision but great power and mouth feel - good for at least 5 yrs
Marcel (1828 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 3/5/2020 & rated 93 points: La Paulée Zachy's Auction - Thursday (Le Bernardin Privé): Magnum. Fresh as a daisy with a full nose of apples and peaches. Palate has rich and vibrant fruit with racy acids. Still quite young. Re-tasted after a few hours and it was going strong. (2064 views) | | | Tasted by hprphf on 3/5/2020 & rated 91 points: Zachy's La Paulee 2020; 3/5/2020-3/6/2020 (Le Bernardin Prive): Magnum. Good individual aspects, trying to come together. 91+ (1425 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/5/2020 & rated 92 points: Zachys La Paulee Auction; 3/5/2020-3/6/2020 (Le Bernardin Prive - New York NY): Magnum. Small glass, brief note. Rich and floral start with lots of apple and lemon curd flavors. Still very bright, lively and elegant. (1818 views) | | | Tasted by rlove on 2/1/2020 & rated 93 points: Roulot's 2007 Tessons Clos de Mon Plaisir is excellent today with a rich nose of honey and iodine, not unlike an aged Raveneau, with impeccable balance, uniform acidity, and a featherweight, crisp texture. Orchard fruit and stoney mineral flavors. Long finish. Very good. (1043 views) | | | Tasted by LW31 on 1/9/2020: Mag. This was rounded, good Tessons character, but overall a bit diffuse and lacking definition. Luchets was brighter next to it. Good but would drink in all formats over next few years. (1079 views) | | | Tasted by tinybubbles on 7/13/2019 & rated 89 points: From jero. (839 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 6/14/2019 & rated 90 points: 3rd of 3, pnp, perfect cork and level, more volume and layering than previous bottles still over acid and slightly unbalanced but heading in right direction, undeniable purity and class. VGI (17). (1039 views) | | | Tasted by tinybubbles on 2/5/2019 & rated 91 points: From magnum. Petrol, chalk and slate notes on the nose. More energy on the palate than the Luchets, but this too flattens too early with air time. Drink now. 91- (1224 views) | | | Tasted by hoonan on 12/29/2018 flawed bottle: Oxidized (1185 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 8/7/2018 & rated 88 points: 2nd of 3, pnp, perfect cork and level. Prompted to look again by the excellent notes (Burg Al, etc.) below, this bottle was exactly the same as my bottle in April, ie too light, seer, angular and simple with insufficient fruit and material to balance the acidity. There's no denying the purity of flavour and the structure of the wine (hallmarks of the admirable Roulot style), but that is not enough. I'll try to hold my remaining bottle for a couple of years to see if it puts on the weight and opens up to reveal the fine wine others have detected. At best VG (16). (1380 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 7/24/2018 & rated 92 points: Roulot Meursault Les Tessons Clos de Mon Plaisir Dinner with some Pierre Morey Tessons (Formento's - Chicago IL): Tasted single blind, served double blind to the group. Certainly the star of the flight with an intense floral start showing plenty of orchard fruit and some lemon curd. Very good depth,easily the concentration to expect from 1er Cru or better. Good+ length. At its peak now. (2151 views) | | | Tasted by dansamsoe on 6/4/2018: Needs a bit of air to open up. The last glass was the best with a good mineral citrus note. Also showing some maturity with a little pineapple on the nose. (1430 views) | | | Tasted by liber on 4/18/2018 & rated 88 points: 1st of 3 bottles, pnp, perfect cork and level - pale; bouquet clean, pure, not particularly expressive, citric, slightly floral, saline, simple; medium light, long and pure, but no bant, all structure, little fruit and minerality, too acid, seems young but lack of matiere a problem without which hard to see this putting on weight, gaining nuance and compensating the seering acidity. At best VG (16). (1354 views) | | | Tasted by LW31 on 3/19/2018: This wine gets better and better. Superb structure and energy. Nutty, mineral. Stony white fruits. Really elegant. Give it more time still. (1439 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 1/14/2017 & rated 92 points: Pob gala dinner: Brought by Jean Marc. Lots of potential. Precise and linear yellow fruit. Still ridiculously young. The mineral and acidity are spot on balanced. It will be very good in 5-10 years (2146 views) | | | Tasted by PC73 on 12/13/2016 & rated 92 points: The roulot 2007 les tessons clos de mon plaisir was in great shape. Classic roulot style, with complexity, touch of sweetness, long acidity providing great structure. Very well balanced. Great lemony citrus flavours. En magnum only enhanced the enjoyment. (1977 views) | | | Tasted by LW31 on 10/20/2016 & rated 92 points: Magnum. Excellent form--fresh, lemon, touch of nuttiness, minerality. After about 45 min of air showed a lot more depth and complexity. Room to develop here and I think for best results give 3-5 more years or decant. (1913 views) | | | Tasted by dansamsoe on 6/22/2016: Very good and clean wine. Citrus, white/yellow fruits, very slim and mineral. Good length. I'm sure it will be much better in 5 years. But already drinking very well right now.' (2103 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy 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

Vineyard maps on weinlagen.infoMeursaultLocated 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
