Meursault Clos des Boucheres Roulot 2012

Roulot Meursault Clos des Bouchères 2012 is a medium-bodied Burgundy white wine from the Premier Cru climat of Les Bouchères in the Côte de Beaune. Domaine Roulot is one of the leading wine properties in Meursault, with numerous holdings across the appellation’s Premier Cru sites. Originally founded in 1830, the estate is currently run by actor and winemaker Jean-Marc Roulot. This release comes from the monopole ‘Clos des Bouchères’, a walled vineyard situated within the Premier Cru Les Bouchères. "The 2012 Meursault Clos des Boucheres has referenced the `clos` on the label since the 2011 vintage. Jean-Marc told me that the clos tends to produce a more elegant wine than `Boucheres` although there is different rootstock, so it probably a combination of those two factors. The 2012 has a slightly more herbaceous bouquet than the Porusot, with touches of nettle and Japanese mirin – introspective, bashful at first but growing in confidence in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with a slight viscosity on the entry, a little more phenolic, with almond, hints of fennel and lemongrass. This is a totally absorbing and cerebral Meursault."
