Tasting notes
(like the Vireuils and Luchets, this parcel faces northeast): Pale yellow. More citrussy and tight on the nose than the Vireuils. Conveys a sweeter impression but with lovely acidity to give shape and grip to the rich citrus, stone fruit and floral flavors. This tactile, rather gripping wine delivers a strong impression of dry extract. Finishes with a slightly tannic quality and classic dryness. This calls for some bottle aging.

The 2015 Meursault les Meix Chavaux, which had not been fined, has one of the more austere bouquets from Jean-Marc Roulot this year. In fact, it is quite Puligny-likein style with cold granite and green apple scents. The palate is very fresh on the entry, sea spray and oyster shell infusing the citrus fruit, leading to a very spicy finish. This comes highly recommended, especially for those seeking a slightly more austere take on the 2015 whites.
Cask sample. On base of slope so quite clayey. Lots of richness and life. Really flattering already. Bright lemon savoury fruit. Very long. (JR)
