Tasting notes
Rich aromas of orange oil and spicy oak. Fat, broad and rich for the vintage, with a distinctly silky texture and very good volume. Very suave wine, with juicy flavors of lemon, lime and orange. This and the Charmes were bottled in January of this year and thus have had longer to recover than the rest of Roulot's 2002s, which were bottled in April. Finishes with lovely length and aromatic character.

The outstanding white flower and talcum powder-scented 2002 Meursault Les Tillets is an intense, medium-bodied offering. Extremely refined, pure, and concentrated, it coats the palate with minerals and apples. This deep wine also possesses a long, flavorful finish. Drink it between 2005 and 2012. Jean-Marc Roulot loves the 2002s. “The north wind of early September concentrated all the grapes. It is a vintage like 1992, yet with lower yields. We gained three degrees of natural potential alcohol in one week.” He is convinced that these wines will age well because “they have perfect health, ripeness, and acidity.” Importers: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel.
