The 2016 Les Charmes from Roulot is a beautifully poised and intricately detailed wine, capturing the vintage’s freshness through the domaine’s hallmark precision. Aromas of lemon oil, white peach, pear skin, and acacia blossom rise with clarity, supported by notes of crushed stone, hazelnut, and delicate spice. On the palate, the wine is taut yet silky, offering a refined interplay of ripe orchard fruit, vibrant acidity, and a deep, chalk-infused mineral backbone. Layers of citrus, stone fruit, and subtle leesy nuances unfold with measured intensity, leading into a long, elegant finish marked by purity, tension, and lingering salinity. Now entering a superb early-mature phase, the 2016 Les Charmes reflects both the depth of the terroir and the precision of one of Meursault’s master craftsmen.

Domaine Roulot is one of Meursault’s most revered estates, celebrated for its precision, purity, and unwavering commitment to expressing terroir with clarity. Under Jean-Marc Roulot’s meticulous stewardship, the domaine farms organically, emphasizing careful vineyard work, low yields, and a philosophy rooted in finesse rather than richness. Native-yeast fermentations, gentle pressing, and élevage in mostly neutral oak preserve tension and mineral detail across the range. Les Charmes, one of Meursault’s most iconic Premier Crus, lies on the lower slope where deeper limestone-clay soils give Chardonnay both breadth and a finely etched mineral core. Interpreted through Roulot’s lens, Charmes becomes a wine of remarkable lift, definition, and quiet power—often considered one of the greatest expressions of this celebrated climat.
