2007 Meursault 1er Cru “Charmes”

Description

The 2007 Meursault 1er Cru “Charmes” from Domaine Roulot perfectly embodies the estate’s signature: precision, minerality, and elegance. This vintage, marked by vibrant acidity and pure aromatics, has evolved beautifully over time. The exceptional terroir, combined with Jean-Marc Roulot’s expertise, results in a chiseled, profound, yet ethereal wine where oak aging is seamlessly integrated.

Blend

100% Chardonnay from the “Charmes” Premier Cru vineyard, known for its richness and silky texture, balanced by a distinctive mineral tension.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Bright golden hue with slight green highlights, indicating graceful aging.

• Nose: Complex and refined, offering aromas of candied citrus, dried fruits (almond, hazelnut), white flowers, and delicate hints of honey and flinty minerality.

• Palate: Broad yet precise, with vibrant acidity supporting a rich and elegant texture. The long, saline finish lingers with buttery and lightly toasted notes.

Cellaring Potential
