| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.7 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 31 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by jerhardt on 12/21/2022: Three years since my last bottle; this one was pristine relative to the last one which was showing a bit mature. Typical Roulot profile, with maybe a bit more flinty reduction than usual. Delicious, though certainly a stylistic preference. (786 views) | | | Tasted by soyhead on 12/17/2022: have had this and liked it more in the past. this particular bottle was hopelessly reduced and undrinkable (to me) (805 views) | | | Tasted by François1986 on 9/17/2022 & rated 93 points: Robe moyennement pâle - jaune citron
Nez au départ ouvert et intense puis délicat dans la précision des arômes: zeste de citron, herbes fraiches, eucalyptus, pierre à fusil.
La bouche est fraiche, ciselée, cristalline, très minérale et toujours sur des saveurs de citrons, silex qui termine sur une finale tendue d'une belle longueur. (990 views) | | | Tasted by Raage on 7/15/2022 & rated 93 points: Gros besoin d'aération pour etre au top, car l'allumette craquée du début (note fumée, réduction) blessait la finesse du nez.
La bouche est délicate, ronde, saline, d'une impeccable élégance: quel joli tactile! Le vin glisse, caresse, séduit, puis reprend du peps sur une finale ciselée et vivante. Le tout courronné par une belle longueur! (1172 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 9/2/2021 & rated 94 points: Quite broad palate. Closer to 1er than village level for me. (1618 views) | | | Tasted by llink on 9/3/2020 & rated 92 points: Popped and poured. Spicy lemon infused nose with some richness buffered by a flinty mineral note. Lively palate, ripe but with good tension and lift on the finish. In a wonderful drinking zone. (1607 views) | | | Tasted by rlove on 4/29/2020 flawed bottle: Advanced, with a nose of ripe apple trending toward bruised, but the palate shows a bit of minerality and recall to a vibrancy of more reductive days past. (1776 views) | | | Tasted by jerhardt on 12/19/2019 & rated 93 points: Poured blind alongside the '11. Even knowing what this was, I would not have guessed these two as being the same wine just one year apart. Rich and starting to mature, this is a substantially bigger and fleshier wine. Have been following this wine fairly consistently for five years, and it feels like it is now at peak and should be on the nearer term drinking list. Excellent wine, nonetheless. (1634 views) | | | Tasted by soyhead on 12/14/2019: as apposed to the 2011 of this wine that was consumed side by side, this was showing very nicely, open for business. great zippy orchard fruit with overall lovely balance. (1677 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 11/3/2018: The nose has some rockmelon, white peach, almond butter and smoke. The palate is going a little honeyed but you can still feel the wine's chalky dry extract.. It is a good drink but lacks the usual Roulot verve and punch because of some mild oxidation. (1893 views) | | | Tasted by decaturwinedude on 7/11/2018 & rated 93 points: Quick splash in the decanter and this came out ready to play. Slight hints of some toast at first, then richer aromas of apples and minerals. Perfect balance and precision. To me, it was coming on as I got to my last glass, but very good right now. (1869 views) | | | Tasted by llink on 7/8/2018 & rated 90 points: The nose is reduced, showing a healthy dose of sulphur and some citrus elements. Wow the palate is taut, linear and very acidic, with teeth jarring tension that is almost out of balance. I love Roulot but really struggled with the sulphuric reduction and acid tonight. (1651 views) | | | Tasted by yvr2zrh on 6/30/2018 & rated 93 points: Bright, lemon, acidity - - This is extremely great right now. Roulot is magic sometimes. (1511 views) | | | Tasted by dansamsoe on 1/1/2018: Still young but drinking beautiful right now. Lots of citrus and white fruits. Tasty. (1673 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 10/27/2017 & rated 92 points: Some Wine Tasted at the Zachys Auction; 10/27/2017-10/28/2017 (Charlie Palmer Steak - Washington, DC): Cross-section of rich apple aromas and flavors with some baked apple. Good length, very good balance. Roulot personified, with the reduction entirely dissipated. Very good now. (2709 views) | | | Tasted by diggydan on 10/21/2017 & rated 95 points: Mineral bomb. Steely and mineral palate, body cut and taut. Citrus notes on the nose and palate. $154 at Range. (1589 views) | | | Tasted by dcwino on 10/20/2017 & rated 90 points: A lost Friday afternoon gathering – 75 Trotanoy, 07 Roumier BM and 10 Jobard Les Tillets that we all guessed at the Roulot. (Blacksalt, Washington DC): Served blind, medium expressive nose displaying ripe yellow fruit, lemon curd, honey, caramel and steely mineral. Very good concentration, rich and oily, ripe sweet yellow fruit driven palate impression, strong mineral presence and a medium finish with a hint of caramel and mineral at the end. Everyone is confident that this is Jobard as it is much heavier and a bit cloying. When the labels are revealed, we are all shocked. (2293 views) | | | Tasted by B Paul on 10/19/2017 & rated 94 points: This is drinking wonderfully right now. Still youthful and vibrant, though there is a a hint of maturity with a honeyed note. Fantastic. (1650 views) | | | Tasted by dansamsoe on 11/27/2016: Starting to shed it's forward fruit and showing some signs of maturing. The nose is a bit muted. Always thinks the Meix Chavaux shows some grapefruit. It still have a little of this. Very slim profile, minerals, agrumes. Very balanced. Guessing it will improve the next 2-3 years. (1956 views) | | | Tasted by jerhardt on 8/29/2016: At least the 6th bottle of this I've had over the past 2 years. This bottle shows signs of shedding some of it's youthful exuberance, and is clearly moving into it's next stage of life. Still vibrant, but starting to round out and show a bit more power. Intense and focused, this wine continues to impress. (2148 views) | | | Tasted by soyhead on 4/15/2016: Nose - smoke, toast
Mouth - lovely, sappy, tart, nice mouthfeel, rich and butterscotch end finish. Very pleasing. Racy & full (2221 views) | | | Tasted by muchomaas on 4/1/2016 & rated 92 points: Incredible high-tide nose. This is super. (2325 views) | | | Tasted by GFischmann on 10/29/2015: Drank with Ken at George Sanque
Great (2363 views) | | | Tasted by llink on 6/1/2015 & rated 92 points: Spicy, mineral infused aromas with a hint of sulphur and grapefruit. Knockout palate, refreshing acidity buffered by perfectly ripe crisp and intense fruit flavors. For my palate the texture and mouthfeel doesn't get much better at this price point. Finishes long with a bitter, grapefruit element that is refreshing. This is the kind of wine I love to linger over and savor over the course of an evening. (2453 views) | | | Tasted by CamWheeler on 4/22/2015 & rated 94 points: Dinner with Gavin at Bistrode: Mineral, smoky, spice, orange peel. So full and flavourful on the palate, with a line of that smoke from the nose embedded throughout. Superb texture, this is already delicious but could age for some time as well.

2018 vintage: "marked by a wet spring, a superb summer and a good harvest"
2019 vintage reports
2021: "From a general standpoint, whether for white, rosé or red wines, 2021 is a year marked by quality in the Rhône Valley Vineyards. Structured, elegant, fresh and fruity will be the main keywords for this new vintage."
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

Côte de Beaune (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne)
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
