Vinous (92+)
Ripe stone fruits, lemon and lime on the bright nose and palate. Juicy, sappy and light on its feet, conveying terrific energy and inner-mouth definition. Finishes adamantly dry, classic and very long. Like most of Roulot's lieu-dit bottlings in 2014, this wine shows premier cru intensity and class, not to mention very good aging potential.In Bond£3,246.39 -

(the crop level here was about 33 hectoliters per hectare, similar to the Tillets): Bright light yellow. Aromas of mandarin orange, spices and flowers. Very concentrated, tactile wine; a step up in intensity from the preceding wines, showing deep soft citrus and spice flavors accented by menthol and anise. Finishes very suave and quite long, dusty but not dry or phenolic and not a bit austere.In Bond£1,291.00 -

Green-tinged yellow. Piquant lime zest and mineral aromas. Lively and sharply delineated but also displays excellent depth and salty minerality, with its limey acidity giving it a compellingly juicy character. Finishes tactile and long. Lots of potential here. These vines, planted between 1958 and 1962, produced just under 30 hectoliters per hectare in 2016, which assistant Baudin described as not a disaster in terms of yield in 2016. He noted that the wine Roulot makes from this favored site is typically between the estate's lieux-dits and premier crus in quality. (By the way, Roulot pulled up his Meursault Les Tillets for replanting after the 2015 harvest.)In Bond£543.00 -

The 2019 Meursault À Mon Plaisir Clos du Haut Tesson has a fragrant bouquet with pressed white flowers, touches of jasmine and yellow plum. This shows slightly more reductive traits compared to the Les Luchets and Meix Chavaux. The palate is vibrant on the entry, taut and fresh. Fine acidity with an edgy nectarine and lemon zest driven finish. There is a surfeit of energy here, its tenderness belying its power.In Bond£369.00 -

The 2020 Meursault À Mon Plaisir Clos du Haut Tesson offers a beguiling combination of fruit intensity, minerality and structure. Orchard fruit, ginger, spice, menthol, chamomile, crushed rocks and tropical accents give the Tesson an exotic flair to play off its dynamic personality. Readers will find a Meursault of uncommon texture and pedigree. Incidentally, a recent magnum of the 1992 was positively stellar. (Tasted by Antonio Galloni)In Bond£2,122.00 -

Musky, complex aromas of citrus peel, stone and hazelnut. Juicy, pure and light on its feet, with pronounced minerality giving the wine a distinctly high pitch. Finishes with noteworthy persistence. A terrible hailstorm on the north side of the village cut yields but did not affect quality, said Roulot, as the affected grapes dried out and fell off the vines.In Bond£330.00
