2005 Domaine Guy Roulot Meursault Les Meix Chavaux- France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault (12/18/2009)
Went from a '07 Roulot Bourg Blanc to this. What a difference! Creamy peach, apple, melon fruit…tarted up with lemons and green apple skin. Just flows over the palate. Wonderful nuances of hazelnuts, spice cake batter, smoky flint chalk, white flower honey butter. Nice spice kick…really creamy(more so than the Les Vireuils)…plenty of minerals. I just can’t ask for more out of Chardonnay? What great pleasure…can’t even fathom what the big guns are like??? Super stuff! (95 pts.)
2007 Domaine Guy Roulot Bourgogne Blanc- France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Blanc (12/18/2009)
Had along with the '05 Roulot Meursault Les Meix Chavaux…and you really can tell the difference! The BB is a killer starter though. Gives you a little snapshot of what you are in for with Roulot Meursault. Crisp, clean, minerals, flint and lemons…classic Roulot flavors. TOTALLY happy drinking this wine…while waiting for an occasion to pop the Meursault! Btw…this is the 6th bottle of this I’ve had…and it continues to get better. (91 pts.)
I had to laugh…well, I kind of had to choke it down. Not as good as a Vintage Port, like the Graham’s we had last…I can only muster a couple sips at a time!
