Having recently consumed the Roulot version, I thought it would be interesting to compare despite being different vintages.
Upon opening , the smile across my face had to be a mile long. Wonderful citrus zest and freshness. Fifteen minutes later I was in a lumber yard. The wood captured the entire bottle and obliterated the fruit. I cannot recall a bottle transforming that quickly!
I kept hoping it would resolve, but I knew deep down that was not likely to happen.

A wine I bought recently to compare to the 2013 Roulot boucheres but drunk a few months ago. Very different style of winemaking ... this had lots of sulfur and a muted nose

A new producer for me that was recommended by the Somm showing rich citrus, pear, mineral & floral notes.

Closed nose. austere palate. upstanding acidity.
After being open for an hour the nose brightened with sweet lemon and baker’s spice oak notes.
Very fun to taste:)

Mushroom, plum, decayed wood, amazing structure, firm tannins, cleansing acidity, blueberry, very well balanced, clean and minerally in the finish. Still young.
