Vinous (92)(Roulot's vines are in Charmes-Dessous): Bright, light yellow. Aromas and flavors of peach, apple, pear and spices are enlivened by a rocky quality. A step up in intensity and verve from the Poruzots, showing lovely clarity of fruit and inner-mouth aromatic character but a bit tight in the early going. This has the concentration of low-yielding vines on rich soil but without any heaviness. Spreads out to saturate the palate on the back end, finishing with excellent grip and citrussy lift. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2020 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru emerges from a 70-year-old parcel in Charmes Dessous that measures ¼ hectare. Apricot, dried flowers, candied ginger and light tropical accents all meld together effortlessly through to the long, beautifully articulated finish. A wine of impeccable class and pedigree, the 2020 is beautifully balanced from start to finish. It’s a total knock-out in 2020. (Tasted by Antonio Galloni) |

Vinous (91)Reticent aromas of crushed stone and menthol. Tactile and perfumed in the mouth; a step up in concentration and grip from the Vireuils. Flavors of lime skin and hazelnut are nicely lifted by a floral element. Plenty of texture and sweetness here. Finishes with lovely persistence. Roulot prefers the 2004 vintage to 2005, but not for this wine, as the normally high acidity here favored the '05. |

Vinous (91)(like the Vireuils and Luchets, this parcel faces northeast): Pale yellow. More citrussy and tight on the nose than the Vireuils. Conveys a sweeter impression but with lovely acidity to give shape and grip to the rich citrus, stone fruit and floral flavors. This tactile, rather gripping wine delivers a strong impression of dry extract. Finishes with a slightly tannic quality and classic dryness. This calls for some bottle aging. |

Vinous (92)The 2019 Meursault Meix Chavaux has a very crisp, almost Puligny-like bouquet, mineral-driven, a little austere compared to the Les Vireuils. The palate is well balanced with orange pith and touches of yellow plum, lightly spiced with a satisfying edginess towards the persistent finish. Long and lasting on the aftertaste with a precision that for me, puts it on a level above the Les Vireuils. Excellent. |

Vinous (92)A statuesque Burgundy, the 2011 Meursault Les Tessons Clos de Mon Plaisir is all class. Nothing in particular stands out, so impeccable is the wine's balance. The depth and intensity of the fruit is apparent, but readers will have to give the 2011 at least another year or two before the elements start to truly come together. The 2011 is impressive for its depth and stuffing. |
