Tasting notes
The 2019 Meursault Les Luchets has a touch more mineralité than the Meix Chavaux, just a heightened sense of tension. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Very saline in the mouth, good tension with a long finish. This has plenty of vigour and a bit of muscle, a hint of ginger on the saline aftertaste. Long term fare.

Mingling notes of white flowers and orange oil with hints of crisp orchard fruit, warm bread and blanched almonds, the 2019 Meursault Luchets is medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a concentrated core of fruit, tangy acids and a long, saline finish. Again, this is quite demonstrative at this early stage, but I suspect it will tighten up with another winter on the lees.
This is Roulot’s biggest holding – more than 1 ha (2.5 acres). Some vines planted 2006, the remainder 50–60 years old. 10% new oak. Currently in tank on full lees. A little timid on the nose. Some sweetness and it seems a tad fat after the Meix Chavaux. Round. I’d wait for a bit more complexity. Lemon Strepsils (throat lozenges)? (JR)
