"The 2009 vintage has really turned out a charming Roulot rendition of Meix Chavaux. The nose is a complex and absolutely classic mélange of apple, lemon, hazelnuts, lovely minerality, spring flowers and a deft touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and very, very pure, with a lovely base of soil, a rock solid core of fruit, bright acids and really stunning length and grip on the zesty finish. Usually I have a slight preference in the Roulot cellars for the Tillets and Luchets over the Meix Chavaux bottling, but not this year, where I have to give this a slight nod over the Luchets, and rank it neck and neck with the Tillets. A great vintage for the Roulot Meix Chavaux."

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.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
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.
