Established in 1830, Domaine Roulot, situated in Meursault, primarily produces white Burgundy. Since 1989, the domaine has been under the guidance of Jean-Marc Roulot, who also pursues a career as a film and TV actor. This particular cuvée was sourced from one of Meursault`s best-known Premier Cru vineyards, Les Charmes. The 2005 vintage in Burgundy was exceptional, leading to high demand for wines from that year.

Vinous
Reticent, pure aromas of lemon and crushed stone, with a hint of vanillin oak; a more exotic mango note emerged with aeration. Rich, dense and young but with a distinct sweetness in the middle palate, in part a function of the wine's vanillin oak component. This is fat and sweet but doesn't quite come alive today. Roulot finds this a bit anonymous, in the warm style of 2005. (Incidentally, I retasted the 2004 Charmes, and though this wine was almost painful after the 2005, it's a real long-distance runner, with a superb core of fruits and minerals, and a saline, dry, very long aftertaste. My most recent score was a solid 93.)Stephen Tanzer1st September 2007
