Domaine Roulot Meursault Les Meix Chavaux 2011

$41499

Meix Chavaux is one of the lieux-dits that built Roulot's reputation - a village-level parcel that Guy Roulot was among the first to bottle separately, decades before single-vineyard Meursault became a category. This is the 2011, now fourteen years from harvest, drinking with the kind of patina that only mature Meursault delivers: yellow fruit deepening toward honey, citrus turning to lime peel, the texture broadening but the line of acid still tight. A glimpse of how the domaine's village wines age - which is to say, beautifully.

"Bright yellow-green. Lemon, lime, minerals and white truffle on the nose. Ripe, rich and rather powerful, with yellow fruit flavors enlivened by a sound citric underpinning. Lovely texture and balance here, and long and vibrant on the aftertaste." —Stephen Tanzer

Robert Parker

"The 2011 Meursault Les Meix Chavaux is showing well, wafting from the glass with notes of citrus oil, white flowers, crushed chalk and a light framing of reduction. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, incisive and electric, with searing intensity, chalky extract and a long, vibrant finish." —William Kelley

More about Domaine Roulot

The name Roulot is now a synonym for the very best wine that the village of Meursault can offer. It is rather remarkable when you consider that just 2 generations back the Roulot's were known as producers of Burgundian brandy and eau de vie. But Guy Roulot began leveraging the family's distilling success to purchase small plots of vines in Meursault and by the 1970's was known as a pioneer for producing top quality chardonnay from distinct parcels or ""lieu-dits"".

When Guy passed away unexpectedly in the early '80's his son Jean-Marc was pursuing acting in Paris. In 1989 he returned to take on the reigns of the small Domaine and in the following decades built on his father's success so well that the wines are now extremely hard to acquire and to afford for most of us.
