"A perfumed and ultra-pure nose offers up a broad array of aromas that include lemon, acacia and mineral reduction. The finer but not denser medium weight flavors are notably stonier while preserving the same gorgeous texture as well as delivering noticeably better depth and persistence. This is stunning good for a villages-level wine plus it should amply repay extended keeping."

"The 2020 Meursault Rougeots has a razor-sharp bouquet with yellow plum, honeysuckle and jasmine, very complex for Village Cru (though it has form!). The palate is beautifully balanced with fine acidity, waxy in texture, almond and orange pith mixed with a touch of stem ginger towards the composed yet persistent finish. Excellent." -Vinous

"Wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, mint, sweet citrus fruits, buttery pastry, fresh ginger and almonds, the 2020 Meursault Les Rougeots is medium to full-bodied, deep and satiny, with a textural attack that segues into a racy, concentrated mid-palate that's a touch broader-shouldered and more muscular than Coche's other communal-level bottlings this year. Seamless and complete, it concludes with a long, saline finish. This is another terrific vintage for Raphaël Coche, who exuded an easy confidence when I saw him in the aftermath of the 2020 vintage, which makes complete sense when one has the wines in the glass. Coche compares the style of 2020 with 1990, a comparison he isn't the only producer to draw, and in the wines' combination of flesh, precision, energy and immediate charm, it makes a lot of sense. In previous vintage reports, I've devoted much ink to the subtle stylistic evolution that has taken place at this address in the 21st century, so I won't reprise all that now. Suffice it to say that this is a superb set of wines from one of Burgundy's most perfectionist, passionate producers." -Robert Parker
