| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.1 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 23 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by godx on 10/27/2023 & rated 93 points: 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. (155 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 5/18/2019 & rated 95 points: 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. (2460 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 5/18/2019 & rated 91 points: 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. (2016 views) | | | Tasted by FYC on 9/12/2018: 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. (1415 views) | | | Tasted by MC2 Wines on 2/14/2016: 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. (3417 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 10/22/2015 & rated 91 points: 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+ (2915 views) | | | Tasted by rnellans on 3/1/2015 & rated 92 points: Complex aromas. honey straw rich long darker straw/yellow some herbal on nose. Fresh finish. 92 (2248 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 2/28/2015: 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. (2199 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 2/26/2015: 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. (1484 views) | | | Tasted by tinybubbles on 2/26/2015 & rated 89 points: 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. (2089 views) | | | Tasted by Eric Guido on 11/21/2014 & rated 94 points: 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. (1837 views) | | | Tasted by Will on 11/11/2014: Excellent. Focused, mineral, vibrant. Drinking great right now, but no hurry. (1233 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 6/14/2013: 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. (1382 views) | | | Tasted by godx on 4/5/2013 & rated 92 points: 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. (1743 views) | | | Tasted by burgburgburg on 3/19/2013 & rated 90 points: 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 (1307 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 10/15/2012: 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. (1404 views) | | | Tasted by Pacalet on 3/8/2012 & rated 91 points: Wow great showing, fresh citrus, light yellow color, nutty, light body with brioche and good mineral finish, awesome village and ready. (1620 views) | | | Tasted by rnellans on 11/4/2011 & rated 91 points: Initially closed, but opens with air. Lush with very nice balance..long finish. (1247 views) | | | Tasted by Pacalet on 6/14/2011 & rated 88 points: 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. (1479 views) | | | Tasted by Diane (LI) on 6/5/2011: 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. (1573 views) | | | Tasted by Jossik on 4/16/2010 & rated 91 points: Beva splendida, granitico e roccioso, mineralissimo. Davvero in stato di grazia (1536 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 2/2/2007 & rated 86 points: Stone and oyster nose; a little tight and one dimensional on palate; short-medium finish (1192 views) |

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
