Meursault Les Tillets Roulot 2005

Roulot Meursault Les Tillets 2005 is a medium-bodied white Burgundy from the lieu-dit of Les Tillets in the village of Meursault in the Côte de Beaune. Guy Roulot was a trailblazer in Meursault, introducing the concept of single-vineyard bottlings and employing a winemaking approach that emphasised the expression of unique minerality and delicate aromas. His untimely passing in 1982 left a void at the estate. At that time, his son Jean-Marc, who was pursuing a career in acting, stepped forward to lead the domaine and continue his father`s legacy. Here, in perfect drinking condition, is the domaine`s mineral-driven Les Tillets cuvée from the ripe, hedonistic 2005 vintage. "Here the nose is also enveloped by a deft touch of wood that frames the airy, pure and wafting aromas of white flower and pear, complementing perfectly the rich yet detailed and mineral-driven medium weight flavors that are refined and silky on the impeccably well-balanced and persistent finish. This is a study in understatement and finesse but it doesn`t lack for either character or flavor authority. Recommended." Burghound, 2007
