Tasting notes
Opening in the glass with notes of dried white flowers, waxy citrus rind, crisp Anjou pear and iodine, Roulot's 1996 Meursault Les Meix Chavaux is medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a racy spine of acidity and searing levels of concentration, concluding with a long and penetrating finish.

Reticent but vibrant minty aroma. Rich but extremely unevolved; shows a strong grapefruit character and obvious depth of flavor, but not yet demonstrating its personality. Still, the longest yet of these '96s, with the structure to develop slowly and last well in bottle.
