Super youthful in both profile and colour. Floral and citrus fruits dominate the nose with a hint of ‘green’. Palate is so airy and focused yet intense flavours and minerality. All citrus and stone fruits. Love Roulot and this bottle did not disappoint.

Wines Tasted at HDH Auction (Spiaggia - Chicago IL): Small glass, brief note. I have always been a fan of Roulot 2004, and this bottle really delivers. Floral start with apple and just enough earth to make it even more interesting. Mature flavors with plenty of brightness on finish with good length.

HDH Burgundy Auction; 5/17/2019-5/18/2019 (Chicago, IL): Absolutely brilliant chardonnay. So delicate, with this demure floral thing going on, as well as some beautiful fruits. The palate is delicate as well, with some beautiful, if a little shy, fruit. Lovely minerality, this is just spectacular Meursault.

Tasted single blind next to the 00, 02, and 03 Tessons.
Very similar to the 00 in style. Almost indistinguishable with the high acid and complex palate. Eventually picked this as the 04 based on the slightly higher acidity. No noticeable green to give this away. Also special.

Funky sulphur, minerals, stone fruit, honey and tropical fruit on the nose...very flinty. The palate had saline mineral, nuts, sulphur and stone fruits, but it did not have the fatness of a typical meursault. The depth was not as steep and complex as the tillet 04 but its more ready. The acidity level is not very high on this one. Probably need to consume now and the next few years. 91+

The 04 was served from 750ml's, and our first bottle had a slightly off-putting note. Aside from that, chalky and radish were what most of us took away. Had a quick sip from a bottle from another table and it was clean and much more enjoyable, so our bottle wasn't representative.

The weakest showing amongst the Luchets ('11,'10,'09,'04) for the day. Wood and vanilla notes on the nose with rather subtle pear, wet rocks and an underlying sweetness. A surprisingly sweet palate with pear and apple, and medium bright acid. This wine show an undefined sweetness and relative lack of composure versus other vintages.

Roulot Meursault/Roumier Bonnes Mares Lunch at La Paulée (Daniel, New York): Yellow, youthful looking. Funky sulfury, lactic nose that never really improved but some stunted lemony notes came through. Medium weight, muted fruit, almost cheesy flavors with some nuttiness in the background. Dry style compared to the rest. Best in its creamy feel, but then the finish was dilute, hard, and short. I'm suspicious this was just not right, but at any rate, well behind the other Roulots today.

Blue Chip Burgundy Dinner (Betony, 41 West 57th Street New York): Almost marine in its profile, yet in the best possible way, the 2004 Roulot Les Luchets opened up with an angular, mineral-laden bouquet, which quickly fleshed out in all directions with a mix of green apple, citrus rind, undergrowth, chalk, slate, flint and smoke. On the palate, it was remarkably fresh and driven by brisk acidity, yet fleshy all the same, showing stone fruits, and saline minerals. The mineral-laden finish reminded me of the seaside with a hint of burnt butter lingering on the senses. It’s a beautiful wine, transparent to its terroir.

Has some cooler nettle like character along with piercing citrus, white flowers and mineral. There’s a dollop of butter sneaking into the flavour profile and it is precise and long.

Bill's Monthly Lunch - April 2013 (Vancouver, BC): Tasted blind – A little shy at first on the nose with a bit of sulphur but that blew off leaving beautiful floral and richer citrus fruits (and a hint of orchard fruit too). Intense on the palate but with delicate fruit, great tension, weight and balance. Plenty of acidity gives the palate a lively feel. I love Roulot. Drink or hold. Excellent.

on a root day; allowed two hours bottle breath but seems longer breath was needed to allow the palate develops; Meursault-signature creamy butter in nose; full bodied but closed palate; nice at village level; good value if you can get it at a reasonable price

Certainly showing the most floral greens out of the three 04 lieu dits I have tried over the past week. It has a whiff of wisteria and a smell of nettles coupled with some just ripe peach and flint. It is direct and lively in the mouth with a dollop of almond butter sheathing the high tensile citric spine. It finishes with good cut and has decent length.

Nose of stones and green straw. Medium palate that is straightforward and not particularly complex. Very balanced acidity esp for the vintage, light to medium, elegant short to medium mineral finish, still pretty for its level.

Much more simplistic than I expected. It drank like a young, one note wine. The nose was empty at first, but with some time in the glass, it showed citrus with the same on the palate. Not sure what is going on with this.

Escape from the Cold; 2/12/2016-2/15/2016 (Sunny & Warm Florida (Del Ray Beach, Jupiter)): I am not the best appreciator of white burgundy, but this was very popular with the table. Unfortunately got a bit overshadowed I think by the reds.
