Domaine Roulot
Les Tessons Clos de Mon Plaisir Meursault Chardonnay
Meursault, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Amazing what a decant can do sometimes. Typically my favorite Roulot Lieux-dit that often easily performs at 1er cru level, 2013 Tessons begins a bit flabby and exotic tonight, showing more of the vintage than I’d like. But with aeration it gains focus and energy and really comes together beautifully taming its ripeness with layered minerality and just enough acidity driving all of its flavors home. Great turnaround.

Light gold in color. Oily and precise. Delicate lime, some light corn, a hint of honey on the nose. Green apple, chalky minerality and yellow flowers in the palate. Harmonious and detailed with secondary notes starting to show. A quiet wine but delicious.

Apr 17th, 2023Gold in color. On the nose a touch of butterscotch. The palate is still fresh with pear and wet stone. Long and pure and clean but a touch advanced. I don’t think premoxed, but definitely ahead of where you’d expect it

Jul 9th, 2022More golden than I expected. Tart apple, some early oxidative signs. Quite creamy in the mouth. Very 2010- intense and rounded. Lacks a little if the freshness and definition of other vintages

May 29th, 2022I really like the vintage for Roulot. It’s so fresh, vibrant and energetic and time in bottle has really allowed it to come together nicely to show a balanced expression of ripe stone fruit, white flowers and citrus inflicted acids with a stony mineral backbone. Got better and better with air. Can never go wrong with Roulot!

Mar 26th, 2022This is a great wine. Bright, vibrant, sappy, vivid. Really light and crisp. Punchy lemon fruit, oyster shells, sizzling acidity. Really defined and delicious.

Golden yellow with pale reflections at the rim. Nose of lemon/pear skin/hints of pineapple, caramel, nuts, and a thread of mint and a nice mineral/flint tone. The palate possesses a dizzying array of flavors. The same fruits and caramel and nuttiness play out and are joined by a lemon oil, and light straw note. Big and broad and at the same time precise and delineated. This was fantastic, and firing on all cylinders. Gained depth as the hours unfolded.
