Tasted blind. Yellow gold, looks older than the 2000 Raveneau. Different nose too, makes us think initially it's not Chardonnay. Notes of pit fruit, quince, stone, creme brûlée and beeswax. Fine grained acidity on the really nice finish. At first we think this is maybe past it's prime and/or slightly oxidative. But with a few hours of air this wine grows bigger and bigger. The acidity becomes powerful. Memorable experience.

Apr 7th, 2018Wow! Roulot Chardonnay with age is amazing! The precision is still there, but with that wonderful aged Chardonnay nutty goodness. The wine started out with a muted nose, but it blossomed over the course of an hour and became quite effusive! Perfect condition too👌
