Bourgogne Blanc 2017 Guy Roulot

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (90)

Jean-Marc Roulot lost some 30% of his 2017 Bourgogne Blanc to spring frosts, but the ensuing wine remains very classically balanced in profile, wafting from the glass with pure and expressive aromas of ripe citrus, green apples and spring flowers. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with succulent acids and a mouthwatering finish. It's a Bourgogne Blanc that outclasses many village wines and I expect it to land at the upper end of my banded score.

In tank on full lees since August. From 13 parcels all over the village of Meursault. Tank sample. Big difference this year (compared with 2016) in that he did not have to buy in grapes to blend with his Bourgogne and sell it under his négoce label.
Lively and stony, with lifted bright citrus. Gorgeously intense and crisp with zesty lemon. So pure and precise and full of energy. Mouth-watering length
