Popped and poured. Medium yellow color. Meyer lemon, citrus, flint and a mineral driven spice. The palate is deep, maybe a little flat (lacking acid) but it’s loaded with dry extract and really dances on the tongue. Long finish. Roulot did really well in 2012. Highly recommended.

Roulot's 2012 Luchets has always shown a richness but has really grown into its frame with baked apple and spice with well-integrated matchstick reduction. Concentrated fruit on the palate, fine minerality, bright acidity. This shows the ripeness of the vintage much more than previous bottles.

In a great spot. There’s some development, nuttiness from the age, but still good acidity and energy.

Excellent showing. Better than the 17’ Leflaive BBM next to it. Really wonderful citrus notes, electric and exciting.

lightning in a bottle. I love young Luchets - it has so much energy and verve in it with ball busting citrus and copious acidity.
