Vintage Roulot Auxey-Duresses Blanc 2017

£175.00

Domaine Roulot is renowned for the chiselled precision of the wines it produces, each expressing the intricate differences between appellations and crus. Jean-Marc Roulot has developed a uniquely elegant style that set a new benchmark for Meursault: mineral and restrained rather that the fat and creamy versions of yore. The vineyards have been farmed organically since 1999, with some experiments in biodynamics. The use of wood is subtle (only 20 to 30% new oak) and use simply to aerate without imparting flavour. The ultimate goal is to let the character of each plot to come through.

The 2017 Auxey-Duresses Blanc is arguably Roulot’s best-value wine. Auxey-Duresses borders the higher-priced Mersault and typically delivers a more restrained style that its famous neighbour.
The wine is pale lemon in the glass with aromas of pineapple and buttercream. On the palate it shows the freshness and backbone that Roulot is known. Delicious, crisp acidity and minerality, supporting flavours of pear, fleshy yellow apple, honeysuckle, yellow plum and a touch of hazelnut. This is a lean and precise Burgundy with plenty of defined acidity married with a rounded mouthfeel. Superb!
