About this Item

Roulot
Meursault 1er Cru Clos les Bouchères, 2004
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

Domaine Roulot produces some of the top Meursaults, if not some of the top white wines in Burgundy. Located in the Côte de Beaune, this small family domaine has Guy Roulot to thank for its success. Guy was also a pioneer in the region when it came to bottling single-vineyards separately. Guy passed away in 1982 and his son, Jean-Marc, left his acting career to take over in 1989. In the early 1990s, Jean-Marc steered the vineyards towards organic farming and obtained organic certification in 2013. The domaine consists of 15 hectares of village and premier cru vineyards and produces 17 different wines. Despite being one of the most sought-after producers in Burgundy, Jean-Marc’s intentions remain humble, focusing on the wines rather than expansion.

Critics Ratings

‘This is notably riper with only a trace of reduction on the citrus, peach, apricot and hazelnut aromas that introduce round and very rich flavors that are powerfully built, delivering excellent depth and length if not necessarily great elegance on the sappy finish. I like the dry extract levels here and this packs a punch.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 92/100 (Jul 2007)

‘Ripe, bright aromas of peach, acacia blossom and earth, complemented by spicy oak. Sweet, chewy and fresh, with a succulent sugar/acid balance for a wine from this premier cru vineyard, which has a tendency to yield low-acid fruit. (Jean-Marc Roulot noted that he picked these grapes two days before the official start of the harvest with 12.9% alcohol and a very low pH.) Peach, pear and floral flavors are pure and very persistent. One of the four barrels was new and another one was one year old.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (Sept 2006)
