Meursault Les Vireuils 2018 from Roulot is a white wine from the Meursault appellation of Burgundy. From a high-elevation lieu-dit with exceptionally thin soils, this wine is a masterclass in Roulot’s signature precision. Despite the warmth of 2018, the wine remains linear and vertical, showing lemon pith and cold stones. Long, slow fermentations and neutral oak ageing ensure that the rocky terroir remains the primary focal point. This is a wine of incredible aromatic restraint and structural focus, showcasing why Roulot is considered one of the premier producers of white Burgundy. The 2018 Vireuils manages to defy the vintage`s reputation for softness by delivering a palate that is as sharp and flinty as any cool-climate expression.

The 2018 Meursault Vireuils is showing nicely in bottle, unwinding in the glass with hints of crisp Anjou pear, citrus oil, nutmeg and fresh bread. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and incisive, with a pretty core of fruit underpinned by a racy spine of acidity, it concludes with a chalky, penetrating finish. This is a fine success that I suspect will show even better with a few years in bottle, even if it's deceptively charming right now.William Kelley14th January 2021
