2022 Domaine Roulot Meursault "Meix Chavaux" 6-Pack

A more expressive and slightly riper nose freely reveals its aromas of white-fleshed fruit, especially pear, along with hints of citrus confit and floral wisps. The gorgeously textured and seductive middle weight flavors aren't nearly as mineral-driven but the equally long finish is satisfying and balanced as well as less overtly austere. This is lovely as well though despite being in close proximity to the Vireuils, offers a completely different expression.*Burghound Outstanding!*

Aromas of pear, white flowers, green apple and orange zest introduce the 2023 Meursault Meix Chavaux, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and ample wine that's chalky and saline. Over the last twenty years, Jean-Marc Roulot’s chiseled, incisive interpretation of Meursault, pared down to its essentials, has disrupted stereotypes of the appellation, charting a singularly original path. When his father, Guy, passed away in 1982, this historic estate was already well-known: along with René Lafon’s Clos de la Barre, Guy was one of the pioneers of lieu-dit bottlings at the communal level, showcasing the family’s holdings in some of the village’s finest hillside sites. After completing his acting studies at the Paris Conservatoire, in 1989 Jean-Marc himself returned to take the reins, with the confidence and aesthetic vision to chart his own course, flying in the face of the rich, buttery style then in vogue.(WK)
