Tasting notes
The 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Charmes unwinds in the glass with a complex bouquet of pear, almond paste, citrus oil, white flowers and mandarin, hints of hazelnut emerging as it sits in the glass. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and muscular, with racy acids, chewy dry extract and a long, mineral finish. This is built for the cellar and will likely prove one of the sleepers in the Roulot cellar this year.

Vines planted 1942. Deep soils. Cask sample. Ripe and spicy aroma. Just a hint of oak. Power and richness that spreads wide across the palate and then draws in to a tight, bright long finish, amazingly intense even after reluctantly spitting it out (I was driving). Stony spice. Lemon-marmalade finish. (JH)
