The 2019 Tessons from Roulot is a beautifully sculpted and luminously expressive wine, capturing the warmth of the vintage with the domaine’s signature tension and purity. Aromas of ripe pear, lemon oil, white peach, and citrus blossom rise with clarity, accented by notes of crushed stone, hazelnut, and a delicate herbal lift. On the palate, the wine is silky yet vibrant, offering a refined interplay of orchard fruit and bright acidity anchored by a firm, chalk-driven mineral backbone. Subtle leesy nuances and gentle spice add depth while maintaining precision. The finish is long, clean, and elegantly saline, showcasing both power and poise. The 2019 Tessons is a standout—generous yet taut, richly textured yet crystalline—reflecting Roulot’s mastery and the brilliance of this exceptional site.
Guy Roulot Description
Domaine Roulot is one of Meursault’s most iconic estates, revered for its dedication to purity, precision, and exacting terroir expression. Under Jean-Marc Roulot’s leadership, the domaine farms organically with meticulous detail, emphasizing low yields, healthy soils, and handwork of exceptional rigor. In the cellar, native-yeast fermentations, gentle pressing, and élevage in mostly neutral oak preserve the clarity, tension, and mineral drive that define the house style. Les Tessons – Clos du Mon Plaisir is perhaps the greatest of Meursault’s lieu-dits, a perfectly situated mid-slope site whose thin limestone-rich soils yield wines of remarkable finesse, lifted aromatics, and Premier Cru–level precision. In Roulot’s hands, Tessons consistently becomes one of the most expressive and sought-after village Meursaults, known for its energy, detail, and quiet power.
