"The 2013 Tessons from Domaine Roulot is extremely refined this year and a beautiful bottle of Meursault in the making. The pure and vibrant nose jumps from the glass in a mix of apple, pear, fresh almond, lime zest, spring flowers, chalky minerality and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bdoied, pure and nicely reserved out of the blocks, with a fine core, lovely focus and balance, bright acids and excellent length and grip on the very elegant finish. This will deserve at least a few years in the cellar to fully blossom. Fine juice."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Beaune's largest white-wine village, known for rich, nutty, buttery Chardonnay of generous texture.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
