Light gold. Awesome nose. Notes of lemon and tan spice, white stones, some mint and fennel, and a hint of tangerine. Lean and razor sharp in the mouth. In perfect shape, and bottles like this easily have 10 more years of life during which it can certainly improve. Gave it 3 hours in a decanter and it was still pretty tight in its showing. — 3 months ago
Merry Christmas! A perfect choice for Christmas dinner. The nose is alluring with floral aromatics and fresh summer herbs. The palate weight is effortless and ethereal. For all the nimble character, the fruit is pure and fresh with wonderful texture and structure. An absolute pleasure to drink. — a month ago
From the fantastic lieu-dit Luchets, always with stunning purity, tension and riveting minerality. Its reduction and sulphur aromas blow off with a decant to reveal ripe apples, lemon-lime and crushed stones. It’s round with racy acidity and very good midpalate depth that leads to a generously long and refined finish. — a month ago
The 2014 Roulot Vireuils was slightly advanced, not willing to say premoxed but certainly without the freshness, purity and laser like acidity of the vintage. The table still enjoyed it as did I, but it just tasted like something different than it actually was. — 3 months ago
The idea that the drinking window of this wine ended in 2018 is laughable (from CT). This is my first btl of a few. Pop and pour, struck match, reduction, but that dissipates with a bit of air. On the nose: lemon, golden apple, loads of wet stone minerality. On the palate: fantastic acidity, lemon oil, herbs, golden apple (the black cherry pie baking in the background is extremely distracting), then amazing wet stone minerality. Stunning for a white, especially in this vintage. — a month ago
“Village Meursault ? Roulot? I’m told no, not even French, 🤔. American😳? Yes. Oregon ? Yes. That is as far as I got. Please take it out of the bag. Reductive nose but a laser like focus in the mouth . A taser like finish of citrus . Will purchase a bottle just to see what this becomes in 5-8 years. — 2 months ago

From the always lovely lieu-dit Meix Chavaux. There is a ripe opulence that is seamlessly balanced by signature Roulot kinetic energy and drive. Ripe orchard fruit, lemon verbena, flinty minerals, saline and matchstick reduction that blows off with a sufficient decant. There is great cut and delineation even in the ripe vintage. But we should expect nothing less from the great Jean Marc Roulot. Finishes long and intense strutting its mineral backbone and impressive focus. — 10 days ago
