Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 13 Feb 20
Aromas of pear, honeycomb and almond paste, deftly framed by a touch of oak, introduce Roulot's 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières, a medium to full-bodied, chalky and mineral interpretation of this premier cru that's fine-boned and elegantly textural.

Meursault

Meursault, in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, is famed for its rich and complex Chardonnay wines. Known for opulent textures, vibrant acidity, and nutty, buttery flavours with notes of stone fruits, citrus, and hazelnuts, these wines also feature a subtle minerality and creamy mouthfeel from limestone-rich soils and oak ageing. Though lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Perrières, Les Genevrières, and Les Charmes produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine des Comtes Lafon, Domaine Roulot, and Domaine Coche-Dury, all celebrated for showcasing Meursault's unique terroir.
