Tasting notes
The 2015 Meursault Les Tillets is lovely, wafting from the glass with notes of yellow orchard fruit, hazelnut and beeswax. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated and intense, with chewy extract, a bright line of acidity, and a precise, penetrating finish.

Pale yellow. Peach and mirabelle on the nose. Sweet, plush and concentrated, with its peach flesh and cyanic peach pit flavors complicated by a stony note and displaying a lovely fruit/acid balance. This richly fruity Meursault is nicely supported by a stony underpinning. These vines were planted to clones in the 1970s and Roulot pulled them up after the 2015 harvest; he will eventually replant with a massale selection.
(13.6% alcohol, from fruit picked on August 28): Medium yellow. Very ripe peach on the nose. Concentrated, tactile and strong in dry extract, but less elegant than most of these lieu-dit wines. Finishes distinctly more phenolic, even tannic. Roulot pulled up two-thirds of these degenerating vines on SO4 rootstock after the 2015 harvest and will wait three winters to replant.
