The Roulot 2006 Meursault Meix Chavaux displays orange and grapefruit citricity, ripe nectarine, and alkaline mineral notes. Subtle creaminess and nut paste flavors offer lovely contrast with the wine’s persistent citricity and tart pit fruit character, and there is a combination of citrus and savory salinity that really calls for the saliva, not to mention the next sip. The rich, glossy, yet very mineral, Chenin-like 2005 is of comparable excellence. (12/2008)
