This racy, elegant wine features bright aromas of ripe apple, mineral and hawthorn flowers. The texture is creamy, richer than some in this cool year, waxy and long. The characteristic tension of the vintage is present, but there is enough breadth and plump fruit on the finish to satisfy. Roulot protected his hectare of vines downslope from Vireuils from frost in 2021 with a wind turbine and candles, ensuring an almost average harvest.

Pale lemon colour. First nose with a bit of reduction. Lean yet concentrated, with perfect balance in this Roulot style, kicks on to a brilliant chiselled finish. A little fresh lemon juice poured over the limestone. Drink from 2025-2030.

The 2021 Meursault Les Luchets has a very impressive bouquet that may outperform the subsequent vintage: struck flint, cold stream, Granny Smith apples, a little strict yet compelling. The palate is very taut on the entry and then fans out wonderfully, lemon and orange rind, a touch of stem ginger with a hint of peach skin towards the finish. Wonderful.
