Domaine Roulot, Meursault, Les Meix Chavaux

Good salinty to kick off and it expanded with more fruit and complexity in the glass. The laser-focused acidity and precision of Roulot were present. One if the best Roulot vintages but the Tessons is big step up in 2010.

La légère réduction aura été bien moins prégnante (et générante) qu’il y a 2 ans, offrant au nez un style légèrement pâtissier, fleurs blanches, vanille et coco. Le vin n’offre aucune lourdeur, mais une belle finesse malgré la touche boisée qui le porte, et surtout du coffre pour l’étirer en longueur. Que c’est long!

Three years since my last bottle; this one was pristine relative to the last one which was showing a bit mature. Typical Roulot profile, with maybe a bit more flinty reduction than usual. Delicious, though certainly a stylistic preference.

have had this and liked it more in the past. this particular bottle was hopelessly reduced and undrinkable (to me)

2010 vintage

Robe moyennement pâle - jaune citron Nez au départ ouvert et intense puis délicat dans la précision des arômes: zeste de citron, herbes fraiches, eucalyptus, pierre à fusil. La bouche est fraiche, ciselée, cristalline, très minérale et toujours sur des saveurs de citrons, silex qui termine sur une finale tendue d'une belle longueur.

Gros besoin d'aération pour etre au top, car l'allumette craquée du début (note fumée, réduction) blessait la finesse du nez. La bouche est délicate, ronde, saline, d'une impeccable élégance: quel joli tactile! Le vin glisse, caresse, séduit, puis reprend du peps sur une finale ciselée et vivante. Le tout courronné par une belle longueur!

Quite broad palate. Closer to 1er than village level for me.

2010 vintage

Popped and poured. Spicy lemon infused nose with some richness buffered by a flinty mineral note. Lively palate, ripe but with good tension and lift on the finish. In a wonderful drinking zone.

2010 vintage

Advanced, with a nose of ripe apple trending toward bruised, but the palate shows a bit of minerality and recall to a vibrancy of more reductive days past.

Poured blind alongside the '11. Even knowing what this was, I would not have guessed these two as being the same wine just one year apart. Rich and starting to mature, this is a substantially bigger and fleshier wine. Have been following this wine fairly consistently for five years, and it feels like it is now at peak and should be on the nearer term drinking list. Excellent wine, nonetheless.

as apposed to the 2011 of this wine that was consumed side by side, this was showing very nicely, open for business. great zippy orchard fruit with overall lovely balance.

2010 vintage

The nose has some rockmelon, white peach, almond butter and smoke. The palate is going a little honeyed but you can still feel the wine's chalky dry extract.. It is a good drink but lacks the usual Roulot verve and punch because of some mild oxidation.

2010 vintage

Quick splash in the decanter and this came out ready to play. Slight hints of some toast at first, then richer aromas of apples and minerals. Perfect balance and precision. To me, it was coming on as I got to my last glass, but very good right now.

2010 vintage

The nose is reduced, showing a healthy dose of sulphur and some citrus elements. Wow the palate is taut, linear and very acidic, with teeth jarring tension that is almost out of balance. I love Roulot but really struggled with the sulphuric reduction and acid tonight.

2010 vintage

Bright, lemon, acidity - - This is extremely great right now. Roulot is magic sometimes.

2010 vintage

Still young but drinking beautiful right now. Lots of citrus and white fruits. Tasty.

Some Wine Tasted at the Zachys Auction; 10/27/2017-10/28/2017 (Charlie Palmer Steak - Washington, DC) : Cross-section of rich apple aromas and flavors with some baked apple. Good length, very good balance. Roulot personified, with the reduction entirely dissipated. Very good now.

2010 vintage

Mineral bomb. Steely and mineral palate, body cut and taut. Citrus notes on the nose and palate. $154 at Range.

A lost Friday afternoon gathering – 75 Trotanoy, 07 Roumier BM and 10 Jobard Les Tillets that we all guessed at the Roulot. (Blacksalt, Washington DC) : Served blind, medium expressive nose displaying ripe yellow fruit, lemon curd, honey, caramel and steely mineral. Very good concentration, rich and oily, ripe sweet yellow fruit driven palate impression, strong mineral presence and a medium finish with a hint of caramel and mineral at the end. Everyone is confident that this is Jobard …

This is drinking wonderfully right now. Still youthful and vibrant, though there is a a hint of maturity with a honeyed note. Fantastic.

2010 vintage

Starting to shed it's forward fruit and showing some signs of maturing. The nose is a bit muted. Always thinks the Meix Chavaux shows some grapefruit. It still have a little of this. Very slim profile, minerals, agrumes. Very balanced. Guessing it will improve the next 2-3 years.

2010 vintage

At least the 6th bottle of this I've had over the past 2 years. This bottle shows signs of shedding some of it's youthful exuberance, and is clearly moving into it's next stage of life. Still vibrant, but starting to round out and show a bit more power. Intense and focused, this wine continues to impress.

2010 vintage

Nose - smoke, toast Mouth - lovely, sappy, tart, nice mouthfeel, rich and butterscotch end finish. Very pleasing. Racy & full

2010 vintage

Incredible high-tide nose. This is super.
