2018 Domaine Roulot, Meursault Premier Cru, Les Poruzots, Bottle (750ml)

Burghound | 93 Points

"This too is notably cool and restrained as the nose only grudgingly displays its notes of matchstick and petrol characters along with green apple, acacia blossom and soft wood nuances. There is once again excellent volume to the tautly muscular big-bodied flavors that possess fine cut and punch while exuding a subtle minerality on the impressively long and powerful finish. *Sweet Spot, Outstanding!*"

No one expresses Meursault’s terroir with more finesse than Jean-Marc Roulot. Since taking over the family domaine in the late 1980s, he’s become a master of the lieu-dit - vinifying each plot separately to highlight its personality. This is Chardonnay with clarity, energy, and an unmistakable mineral edge.

While many Meursaults lean rich and opulent, Roulot’s wines are cut from a different cloth - defined by brightness, tension, and exacting precision. Minimal new oak, gentle bâtonnage, and native yeasts let each vineyard speak for itself. It’s a style that has become the gold standard for purity in the village.

The 2018 Meursault Les Poruzots is one of the domaine’s most structured and powerful expressions. And among his lineup, arguably one of the most sought after by collectors.

From a premier cru site known for its deeper soils and natural intensity, this bottling shows serious grip and layered complexity, balanced by Roulot’s trademark lift and finesse. Saline, citrus, and flinty notes unfold with air - this is a wine built to age.

Roulot, a passionate chef himself, crafts wines that shine on the table. With their vibrant acidity and mineral backbone, bottles like Poruzots are more likely to be found on Michelin wine lists than in retail shops - so when you see one, don’t wait!
