Made us so happy--that intense Roulot minerality that reminds me of asphalt, but a subtle thin rich nutty layer as well. Great color, no signs of oxidation in this bottle from the menu at Jungsik. Delivered.

First time trying Roulot. Pedigree shown through. Gunflint, Lemon and white stone fruit with a fantastic bacon fat note through the mid and end palate. Whilst a great wine, an Aussie chard for 10% of the price wasn’t far off this

Classic Meursault with an intense Puligny minerality, this wine opened fresh and pale with touch of gold. The nose is open and complex with touches of white peach, Nashi pear, lemon and lime, white flowers and oatmeal. The palate reflects the nose in its complexity with plenty of matiere and grip leading into an intensely mineral finish of limestone, oatmeal and hazelnuts. Delicious at 14 years of age.

Nose of honeysuckle, fresh cut grass and nuts. It's quite atypical for a Meursault!
Mouth of magnificent freshness. Here too, we are far from the Murisaltian archetype, there is no fat but a salty tension. It's elegant, with a lot of finesse on aromas of wet stone and white flowers like jasmine. The wine is truly crystalline, loaded with mineral salts. The second half of the palate unfolds with nutty aromas, without sacrificing anything in terms of freshness. Excellent balance which leads to a vibrant and saline finish. Very good length.
An excellent and surprising Meursault.

The 2010 Tessons is absolutely beautiful with citrus, ripe stone fruit, white flowers and spices. It has so much tension and vibrancy with generous acidity. 2010 is indeed a stellar Roulot vintage. It is so gorgeous today. Agree with earlier comment that the wine is on its way to premox, judging from the colour and readiness. Drink now.

Quite a full yellow color now. This bottle was everything you could hope for in a Clos de Mon Plaisir after ten years in the cellar. Still holding up well. Beautiful balance - speaking with both nuance and authority. To my taste I find the reduction / gunflint / struck match aromas quite evident but by any standards this is unquestionably an exceptional Meursault, much enjoyed by all those at the table. With Scallops and Celery Root puree. Reassuringly good after a couple of 2010 Roulots drunk in the last few years that seemed to be aging faster than expected. Bought on release. Will keep.

PNP. Medium yellow color. Deep nose, dominated by Meyer lemon, white peach, honey spice and flint. Perfect texture on the palate, sweet, sour, saline infused with tons of acidic energy and lift, followed by a mineral laden, chalky finish. Outstanding. The 2010s from Roulot have all been drinking really well, the quality here is close to what I experienced with a Meursault Perrieres a few months ago.
Update on 6/13/22. I poured 1/2 the bottle into a 375ml container and used a vacuvin to suck out the oxygen. This wine is amazing after 2 weeks in the refrigerator. The nose is still loaded with lemon and flint, and the palate is slightly richer and rounder but still relatively tightly coiled.

It’s a lovely wine but at current retail prices too expensive. Definitely ready to drink with a long life ahead as it feels so fresh. Medium size with notes of acacia, a little walnut and honey. Great length. Lovely combination of richness and precision. It has the tensile quality you look for in Roulot. I know this cuvée well and the texture is what surprised me the most - it has this viscosity. A very good example of this cuvée.

Popped and poured. Consumed over a 3 hour dinner. Lemon infused spice and flint on the nose. Very floral and on point. Deep palate, lively citrus acidity and a beautiful, detailed, crisp texture. Juicy and long finish. Outstanding and reaffirmed my faith in Roulot after a premoxed 2010 Tillets last night.

Roulot's 2010 Les Tessons is killer tonight with an intense nutty, buttery nose with finely layered and well integrated reduction. Rich, dense fruit on the palate is kept fresh and light by racey acidity and a stoney minerality. Excellent for the vintage with none of the flab I'm seeing in many of its contemporaries. Not quite at peak.

Just about in he perfect place for mine. Has some rockmelon and pure white peach fruit as well as a hint of honey development. It is rich with a dollop of butter ion the mouth and detail is outstanding. The finish has excellent mineral cut and there's a suggestion of green melon and chalk once the wine is swallowed.

John and Chris visit Luggate - the final night! (Luggate, New Zealand): Gorgeous bottle, in full maturity. Classic hazelnut, peaches and cream style. beautiful line of acidity offers verve, to the supple and round mouth feel. Intense palate with great focus. Long and mineral. A special Meursault showing very well at the moment.

A quite different—and markedly improved—wine from the one I opened two months back, suggesting that was perhaps an off bottle. Rich orchard fruit, nutty reduction, and stone. Gobs of minerality on the palate. The 2010 Les Tessons Clos de Mon Plaisir is classy and intense.

Burgundy Wimps, La Flèche table (La Trompette, London): A lovely rich hazelnut reductive nose. Rich and quite fat on the attack, with a more minerally mid-palate and a lovely line. Finishes brightly and reasonably taut. Clear family line with its 99 elder sibling that follows. ****

Close to Clos: Floral, sesame, grapefruit, lemon curd, musk and matchstick. Good texture on the palate, with the fruit leaning towards a richer style but the acidity providing good drive. Really nice now but could well be better in time.

Nice to try one of these, albeit too early. White gold color. Nose of acacia, flint, citrus elements. Very tight on the palate with pure, stony flavors laced with lemon and lime plus a bit of granny apple and oak. Tartness resolved with time. Staunchly acidic and noticeably structured with mineral spine. Longer finish of white rock and fresh citrus fruit. Very impressive for a village wine. Give this some time.

With Nello having dinner at Taberna Laredo, Doctor Castelo st. In Madrid. Aromas of sunflower seeds without husk. Feeling a little that granny closed room. That same grandmother made a nice lemonade... First sip is quite acid but becomes more accessible with time.
Con Nello una cenita rica en Taberna Latedo de Madrid. Pipas de girasol sin cáscara Un poco de habitación de abuela Limonada de esa misma abuela Boca muy ácida al primer sorbo después más accesible Acompaña un revuelto de erizos y unas láminas de anguila y sardina con burrata, tomate y aceituna.

oh my lord, so much acidity and minerality. It's basically flying out of the glass. If there was ever a wine where you can understand how vibrant a wine is off the nose this would be it. The acidity is piercing and the tension of fruit and minerality is on a high wire act that just teeters at the line of being enamel shredding. Right now the acidity is so high toned that even with 2 hours the fruit still played second fiddle, but the structure on it, so broad and so defined you know it's going go years and has it's best days ahead of it. I think 2010 (from the limited village/1er I've had) are going to be INCREDIBLE wines.

Really intense nose dominated by lovely toasty, lemony and stony elements. This has a little of the Coche style matchstick, sulphur aroma. The palate is linear and precise at the moment, very tight and lemony (Meyer) but overall this comes across as austere and higher acid. Medium finish. Outstanding with a bright future.

11 th Burgundy tasting - Whites part I (@ Rotterdam, Netherlands): Double decanted, recorked and stuck back in the fridge. After five and a half hours of slow oxygenation, this wine has a lightly intense straw core. While the nose is pronouncedly intense, it takes time and frantic swirling for reticent notes of toast, white fruit and roasted nuts to break through the carapace of reduced manure & chicken excrement. No more than medium-bodied on the attack, the acidity is again pronounced but cut of the finest cloth. This makes for a chiselled mid-palate sensation of medium intense and finely textured ripe white peach flavours, which effortlessly seem to co-exist with equally precise candied lemon. Hung on a rigid frame of cretaceous mineral matter, this wine has the presence of a much nobler terroir than a lowly villages. Considering its reduced state I have to place this wine Hors Catégorie, but I’m sure there is at least low nineties potential. This is the sort of white Burgundy which makes me curse the p’ox plague. Did I mention I’m a fan? .......................... TN Mike de Lange.

Powerful apple and pear flavors on palate with spice emerging on finish. very long and persistent. Another impressive Roulot 2010, just a shade behind the Luchets for me today.
