Domaine Roulot Mersault Clos des Boucheres Monopole 2011
The Domaine Roulot Mersault Clos des Boucheres Monopole 2011 transports you to Meursault's fine, terroir-influenced vineyards. The Domaine Roulot winery enjoys international recognition for its precise limestone minerality, structure, and delicate fruit expression. The 2011 vintage was characterized by warm conditions yet cool freshness, allowing this wine to combine richness with clarity. Critics such as Falstaff, Robert Parker, Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Wine Spectator praise the elegant balance of power, minerality, and careful oak integration without obscuring the transparency of the terroir.
Tasting Note: The nose reveals ripe peaches, quince, and pear, accompanied by almond, brioche, and a delicate citrus note. On the palate, the wine is creamy yet taut, with a distinct mineral freshness reminiscent of salt rock. The fruit is concentrated, the texture silky, the finish long and focused; the wood is gently integrated, harmoniously blending warmth and elegance.
Food pairing suggestion: Perfect with oysters, scallops in butter or white wine sauce, crayfish, grilled chicken with mushroom sauce, or creamy risotto. Serve this wine well chilled at around 10–12°C to allow the freshness, minerality, and delicate fruit to develop clearly.
