2019 Meursault 1er Cru "Charmes" Domaine Roulot

2019 Meursault 1er Cru “Charmes” – Domaine Roulot

Description

The 2019 Meursault 1er Cru “Charmes” from Domaine Roulot is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of Jean-Marc Roulot, one of Meursault’s most renowned winemakers. Sourced from one of the most prestigious Premier Cru vineyards in the appellation, this wine achieves a perfect balance between richness and vibrant minerality, with outstanding aromatic precision.

Blend

100% Chardonnay, vinified and aged with a meticulous single-parcel approach in French oak barrels, with a restrained use of new oak to preserve fruit purity and terroir expression.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Pale gold with brilliant reflections, luminous and crystal-clear.

• Nose: Complex and refined, featuring aromas of white flowers, ripe citrus, and fresh almonds, with subtle hints of hazelnut butter and flinty minerality.

• Palate: Broad and silky on the attack, with impressive energy and striking mineral tension. Flavors of white peach, candied lemon, and toasted hazelnuts harmonize beautifully, leading to a long, saline, and elegantly persistent finish.

Aging Potential

This Meursault Premier Cru “Charmes” 2019 is already stunning in its youth, showcasing vibrancy and precision, but it will evolve gracefully over 10 to 15 years, developing layers of honeyed richness, dried fruits, and an even silkier texture.

Food Pairings

A superb match for elegant and refined dishes:

• Pan-seared lobster with lemon butter

• Roasted turbot with asparagus and hollandaise sauce

• Bresse chicken in creamy morel sauce

• Aged Comté or Alpine Beaufort cheese
