Tied for WOTN on a special evening of Mirazur food and great whites. Beautifully soft on the tongue, with gentle waxy/oily profile and most of the electricity and tension removed, replaced by layers of gentle flavor complexity - minerals, citrus, stone fruit. Floral elements. Seek out more...

I found this much more expressive than many Chablis. Intense pear, minerality, some wax.

Easily the best bottle/vintage I've had of this wine, and tied for WOTN among stiff competition at Mirazur. Beautifully complex with melon, apple, pear - all soft fruit flavors with oak for richness. Mexican vanilla is how I might characterize the oak contribution. This is a vintage to savor.

2016 Domaine Roulot Meursault Clos du Haut Tesson À Mon Plaisir
92 points
This suffers in comparison on quality and price to the other whites this night at Mirazur. Didn't find the depth of flavor that a truly great Meursault would offer.

I seem to like this more than many other reviews, as it had a lot of depth and complexity, but I'd knock it for some excess heat and cola-like bite. Without that, would be closer to 95.
