Continuing downhill from Vireuils and Luchets, Roulot’s 2007 Meursault Meix Chavaux is overtly chalky as well as saline, with bright citrus akin to that of the Luchets and lemon pip and peach kernel whose bitterness adds to the wine’s sense of austerity. But this has a formidable sense of density, suggestions of ripe white peach, and an integrated sense to its citric, pit fruited, bitter, and stony aspects that engenders a vigorous counterpoint, carrying into a long, invigoratingly oscillating finish. I expect it will reward visits for another 6-8 years at least.
