1998 Roulot Meursault 1er Cru Les Perriéres
Written By: Michael Zimberg on Wednesday, April 9, 2008
Readers know how much I love Roulot these days. This is certainly no exception. It is the first premier cru I've tried, and I can not wait to have more. There's such a distinction in these wines. This one is pale browning golden. There's flowers and funk, amazing aromatics, butter, lemon chiffon, orange peel, and impeccable balance. This is fully mature, and I love it. We ordered this from the encyclopedic wine list at Cru for $230, which is a fair price even though a lot of money.

Michael Zimberg has intuition when it comes to wine. Somehow, some way, he is able to spot the best deals and the best food and wine pairings. Mikey's wife, Jill, attributes it to a naturally well-defined sense of taste and smell, combined with a healthy dose of experience. Whatever it is, his reviews shouldn't be missed.
