The 2021 Meursault Vireuils is very promising, exhibiting aromas of citrus zest, beeswax, white flowers, mint and fresh hazelnut. Medium-bodied, racy and precise, it's vibrant and saline, with a bright spine of acidity and a penetrating, mineral finish.

Opening in the glass with notes of lime zest, white flowers and crisp green apple, the 2020 Meursault Vireuils is medium-bodied, bright and chiseled, with tangy acids, chalky structure and a long, saline finish. As usual, this is the leanest, most purely mineral lieu-dit bottling in the range.

Notes of pear, peach, fresh bread, nutmeg and mandarin orange introduce Roulot's 2019 Meursault Vireuils, a medium to full-bodied, racy and chiseled wine that combines ripe fruit with tangy acids in a vintage-typical marriage. This is quite rich for a young Vireuils, but I suspect it will tighten up during another winter on the lees.

The 2018 Meursault Vireuils is showing nicely in bottle, unwinding in the glass with hints of crisp Anjou pear, citrus oil, nutmeg and fresh bread. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly textural and incisive, with a pretty core of fruit underpinned by a racy spine of acidity, it concludes with a chalky, penetrating finish. This is a fine success that I suspect will show even better with a few years in bottle, even if it's deceptively charming right now.

An incipiently complex bouquet of Anjou pear, citrus oil and nutmeg preface the 2017 Meursault Vireuils, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered wine that's chalky, incisive and racy. The inherent tension of the site is tempered by the charm of the vintage to compelling effect.
