Roulot, Meursault Boucheres other_regions_australia Tasted at the Kumeu River

Tasted at the Kumeu River Chardonnay vertical in London

Doctor Nicolas Catena told me that he planted there out of fluke and then they realized he had discovered a treasure of a place

Discreet but not invisible wood is the only aromatic component visible beyond the very firm reductive notes so again

A slightly riper and more complex nose of very earthy and slightly sauvage dark berry fruit aromas set of by a touch of wood spice leads to dense and attractively textured medium-full flavors that possess a seductive mouth feel and I like the subtle sense of harmony as this is balanced

with the firm acidity and chalky mouthfeel creating a structured frame for the vivid range of pureed raspberry and steeped black cherry

Roulot, Meursault Boucheres other_regions_australia Tasted at the Kumeu RiverThis is notably more elegant and aromatically finer with its pure essence of pear, dried flowers and citrus peel influences. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the very finely detailed flavors that exude a discreet minerality onto the dry, clean and almost delicate finish. This is much like a bigger version of the Tillets as its strength is its refinement and purity, not power or punch. Lovely and understated. (91 93) 2019+
