Sommelier Appreciation Dinner 2020 (The Brown Residence): Very fresh example, slightly lean and cool. Fully mature but still showing good energy. Oyster shell, lemon curd and lemon oil. Drinking really well in a classic mature Meursault way.

Love the nose on these 96 and older Roulot. That flint and big dollop of citrus and mint. A less obvious version of the nose that Coche was famous for. Loads of fresh bright acidity on the wine, lemon custard and saline. Very clear and precise fruit. These 96 Roulots are in a class of their own, from the lieu dits up to the incredible Perrieres.

Butterscotch, mint, and stone notes. Incredibly fresh acidity but otherwise a tad advanced, with stewed fruit flavors. Nice weight. Past its prime. Drink now.

From magnum. Mint and popcorn on the nose. Muddled lemon, slate, basil, and light mustiness on the palate. A steeliness to the mid-palate. Started out with some vigor but fell off quickly. This bottle was past its peak but still enjoyable

Lovely bright yellow, big toasty, roasted nut nose, mature, citrus (Lemon fruit) long mineral finsih, almost salty like a Ravenneau Chablis. Fairly light in weight, perfect balance and at 19 years old a truly remarkable village Meursault in no hurry to drink...

This is why we bought 96’s on release and it is now revealing the potential of the vintage if not marred by premox. Fresh nose of citrus fruit and minerals with just a whiff of toasty development. It has a searing line of acidity and just a touch of butter in the mouth. Flavours are crystalline, sharp and clear and it finishes with tremendous cut.

Second part of the 96 white burg theme for the week-end, after the 96 Dauvissat Forest. I really love what Roulot does. Although this one is not at the same level as the Charmes from the same vintage tasted earlier this year, it's still in a comparable ballpark. The main word for me is finesse. Everything seems gentle and understated. It's not an obvious wine, it's delicate, balanced, lively - inviting you to a little dance. The toast is quite obvious at first, a bit like a wooden dancefloor - kind of necessary, but what's interesting is what happens on top of it.

Totally dominated by lemon, this bottle is simple and went well with lemon chicken, but shows no Meursault typicity. The texture is decent and the acidity is intense, but not totally astringent. It could be just this bottle, but I don't think I'll buy another to find out. Decent, no more.
