🏰 The 2009 Roulot Meursault Perrieres 1er Cru is an 【absolute treat, a special vintage for Roulot that is now starting to show its best】 with over a decade of age. This white Burgundy, known for its deeply concentrated yellow orchard fruit, has seen its ripeness tone down over time, with acidity increasing freshness and a broad, chiseled texture. It presents a beautiful gold color with emerald highlights. The nose offers a rich, honeyed, saline, and ocean-y character, evolving with lovely woodiness, fruit, hazelnut, fresh almond, acacia, and a touch of minerality like gunflint. On the palate, it strikes a perfect balance between freshness and smoothness, with a full, silky structure. Expect powerful yet elegant and refined flavors of stone fruit, citrus, lemon zest, butter, and incredible complexity, culminating in a surprisingly long finish. 🍴 This exquisite Meursault is a fantastic pairing for luxurious aperitifs with foie gras toast, shellfish, seafood, and fine fish (grilled or in sauce). It also complements chicken in cream sauce, skate in browned butter, white truffle risotto, and creamy, washed-rind cheeses like Epoisses. For a unique twist, try it with teriyaki chicken meatballs. 🥂 A great Burgundy for laying down, this wine needs more time to fully reveal its capabilities, making it ideal for special occasions, fine dining, or as a prized addition to a serious cellar.
