The Meursault Les Luchets displays piercing toasted nuts on the nose followed by a mouth made up by roasted nutty fruits and green apples. This medium-bodied, well-balanced village offering should be consumed between now-2002. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. This relatively large (by Meursault standards) domaine is run by Jean-Marc Roulot, his sister Michele and their mother (Guy Roulot's widow). The estate owns many highly regarded vineyard sites (including Perrieres and an old vine parcel of Charmes). I was only permitted to taste the Bourgogne Chardonnay and the Meursault Les Luchets. As their high quality suggests, there may be some real finds in 1995. Jean-Marc Roulot recently married Alix de Montille, the daughter of Volnay's Hubert de Montille's, so the question begs to be asked: Will Roulot be responsible one day for that famous estate's wines?

As polished as a diamond. Great winemaking has produced this vibrant, well-defined and well-structured '95 that bursts with clean, crisp lemon, honey and fresh fruit flavors, yet yields to the complex accents of spice and toasted oak. Medium to full-bodied, it's subtle and delicious from start to finish. Best after 2000. 400 cases made.??–null??Region: France / Burgundy / Meursault Select to Add
