The Meursault Les Luchets Roulot 2009 is a white Burgundy crafted from Chardonnay. This wine is sourced solely from the Les Luchets lieu-dit vineyard in Meursault, Côte de Beaune, where Domaine Roulot owns a 0.30-hectare parcel. The vineyard`s clay-limestone soils contribute to the wine`s structure and depth. The 2009 vintage showcases a balance of richness and acidity, characteristic of this site. Domaine Roulot is recognised for its meticulous vineyard practices and commitment to terroir expression, making it a notable producer in the region.

The 2009 Meursault Luchets is rich, round and supple. It is one of the more open, accessible wines from Roulot in 2009. Layers of warm, radiant fruit caress the palate in stunning style. Mineral notes appear on the finish, but the Luchets is essentially about fruit, within the context of Meursault, of course. Anticipated maturity: 2012+.

Jean-Marc Roulot is one of the most thoughtful, introspective growers in Burgundy, so it is hardly a surprise his 2009s are so sublime. The domaine has grown to 15 hectares as of the 2011 harvest. Roulot was among a group of investors including Dominique Lafon who purchased Domaine Rene Manuel from Laboure-Roi. Readers can look forward to two new wines from Roulot a Meursault Clos de la Baronne, Meursault Clos de Bouchere, plus a little more production of the Poruzots. Roulot was among the first to harvest, and started picking on September 1st. Accodring to Roulot, the optimal window for picking has become much narrower with today’s increasingly warmer growing seasons. Roulot told me he prefers 2009 to 2008 as the fruit was healthier, with no botrytis or other issues, which resulted in wines of greater focus. The 2009s spent 12 months in oak followed by 6 months in steel with very light and infrequent batonnage. The Bourgogne saw less than 10% new barrels, while the village wines saw 15-18% new barrels and the premier crus 25-30% new barrels. Unfortunately I was not able to taste the 2010s as they were in full malolactic fermentation.

Subdued aromas of peach blossom, orange, ginger and flowers. Juicy, bright and intense, with lovely lift to its broad flavors of ripe peach and spices. This supple, fruit-driven wine should offer early appeal and age gracefully.Stephen Tanzer1st September 2011
