Exquisite wine that was ethereal. It was precise and minerals driven, but still filled everyone with pleasure. It’s a wine of emotion which actually made one taster laugh with glee.

Mittleres Gelb, noch jugendlich. Die Nase ist ein kleines Spektakel, Bienenwachs, Rauch, Lindenblüten, Feuerstein, Honig, Zitrische Noten, grüner Apfel, sehr komplex. Im Gaumen mit feiner Cremigkeit, dennoch sehr straff, top Struktur, ungemein viel Frische und Saftigkeit, präzis, wie aus dem Stein gemeisselt und mit enormer Länge im Abgang. Aktuell ausgezeichnet zu trinken. Bis 2035. www.vvwine.ch

A bit of a disaster week with these 2015 Roulots. Each of the Bouchères, Tessons, and Meix Chavaux showed something between extreme ripeness and undue oxidization. Minimal to no acid to speak of. I have not had this problem with Roulot before, although I do not have a ton of experience with 2015. Brought each of the Bouchères, Tessons, and Miex Chavaux to a different two or three star in NYC and had a discussion with the sommeliers as too what is going on here, as each example was unpleasantly round and undefined in a way that I have not found with these before. A little in the way of frosting / icing weighs in favour of oxidization issues and not solely overripeness. Have had plenty of these and will steer clear going forward.

Riper than other ‘15s I’ve had from Roulot. Denser, oiler texture. (Also not quite cold enough)

Mineral and floral.
Round and ripe with good energy on the palate but a little bit flabby.
