Tasting notes
Despite its youth, the 2017 Meursault À Mon Plaisir Clos du Haut Tesson continues to show brilliantly from bottle, offering up inviting aromas of crisp Anjou pear, citrus oil, blanched almonds, pastry cream, white flowers and struck match. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it's elegantly textural, with terrific depth at the core, bright acids and a long, mineral finish. This is unusually approachable out of the gates for a top Roulot vintage, and readers with multiple bottles might certainly follow my example and enjoy one in its youth with pleasure.

In tank on full lees since August. Tight and herby on the nose. Real finesse and so racy but with power too. Tangy and very bright with a spiciness that is in the texture as well as in the flavour. This has a sword cutting through the middle. (JH)
