1992 Meursault Les Perrieres

Guy Roulot's wines are made in an elegant style. The young Roulot feels his best vintage over recent years has been 1990, followed by 1992. All the 1992s had just been bottled when I tasted them, so they may have been somewhat subdued. The three best Meursaults from Roulot are generally Les Tessons, Les Charmes, and Les Perrieres. Roulot's father Guy always adored Les Tessons, stating on the label, the Clos de Mon Plaisir. This wine is usually an opulent, medium to full-bodied, classic example of the appellation. The 1992 Meursault-Les Perrieres possesses that exquisite steely, mineral-scented nose combined with aromas of apple blossoms, ripe fruit, and medium to full body. There is zesty acidity, and plenty of richness and length. Importers: Parliament Wine Co., Atlantic City, NJ and Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA.
