2013 Domaine Roulot Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru

The 2013 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrieres, which comes from the domaines 0.26-hectares of vine purchased in 1976, is not quite as expressive as the Charmes '13 at this stage. But there is a beguiling marine influence here, hints of oyster shells that develop with time. The palate is linear, brooding and strict, touches of lime and stem ginger, long on the finish but perhaps lacking the same charm and personality as the Charmes.
