2001 Domaine Roulot, Meursault Premier Cru, Perrieres

The 2001 Domaine Roulot Meursault 1er Cru "Les Perrières" is a definitive expression of one of Burgundy’s most prestigious sites. In the hands of Jean-Marc Roulot, this "unofficial Grand Cru" transcends the typical opulence of Meursault, offering a chiseled, crystalline profile defined by white flowers, crushed flint, and an electric mineral nerve. Now with over two decades of bottle age, the wine has traded its youthful reduction for a haunting complexity of preserved lemon and honeyed ginger, all while maintaining the vertical structure and "weightless" density that are the hallmarks of the domaine.

The 2001 vintage specifically rewarded producers who prioritized finesse, and Roulot’s Perrières has emerged as a vibrant, life-affirming masterpiece of longevity. While many white Burgundies of this era have faded, Roulot’s meticulous winemaking ensures this bottle remains remarkably fresh, driven by a saline-rich finish and a persistent, stony core. This is a rare opportunity to taste a legendary vineyard at its absolute peak—a soulful, high-toned white Burgundy that represents the pinnacle of both site and stewardship.
