"Vibrant, boasting salty, smoky lime peel fruit aromas and a penetrating mineral edge. There is a tension here, but also enough flesh to make it enjoyable; the wine echos on the palate in a satisfying way – a classic, reductive Roulot style. It should open up with a few more years to show even more nuance. The grapes come from the coldest part of the village on the border of Auxey-Duresses, with a northeast exposition in a small valley with just 30cm earth before the stone." 

Vinous, 

"The 2021 Meursault Les Vireuils has an intense nose with apple blossom, granite, touches of yellow flowers, lovely focus and energy. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, gentle and understated, maybe just needing a little more tension on the finish. Very fine, even though I prefer the Meursault Village." 

Alcohol: 12.5%
