Tasting Notes

94
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 11
Pale yellow. Yellow peach, pineapple, hazelnut, flinty minerality and a whiff of oak char on the nose. At once thick and vibrant on entry, then rich and seamless in the middle, with powerful crushed stone minerality giving shape and an impression of weightlessness to the rich lemony fruit. Wonderfully juicy and intense. The slowly building, tactile, classically dry finish saturates the mouth with flavor. Grand cru quality here--a 2009 with outstanding energy. (I was unable to keep my appointment with Roulot this year, as he was called away by a family medical issue.)

Meursault

Meursault, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, is famed for its rich and complex Chardonnay wines. Known for opulent textures, vibrant acidity, and nutty, buttery flavours with notes of stone fruits, citrus, and hazelnuts, these wines also feature a subtle minerality and creamy mouthfeel from limestone-rich soils and oak ageing. Though lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Perrières, Les Genevrières, and Les Charmes produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Domaine Roulot, and Domaine Coche-Dury, all celebrated for showcasing Meursault's unique terroir.
