Offering up aromas of pear, pastry cream, white flowers and blanched hazelnuts, the 2018 Meursault Vireuils is medium to full-bodied, chiseled and elegant, with good depth and tangy underlying acids. In Roulot's cellar, the tour of Meursault's hillside lieux-dits begins with Vireuils, a high-altitude site that is both the most easterly exposed and the most marked by the influence of cool winds from the valley of Auxey-Duresses, meaning that it's always the leanest, least textural wine of the series.
