Jean-Marc Roulot's holdings were hit hard by the June 28 hail in 2014, with his production for the vintage down 50% in volume and 60% in value, this following a 40% loss in volume in vintage 2013. He told me he lost 60% of his Meursault Le Porusot production during five minutes of hail on that dreaded Saturday afternoon. Roulot expressed the opinion that "2014 and 2013 are in the same style; both should be best for drinking within the first ten years." The pHs are a bit higher in 2014, he added, but acidity levels are still quite healthy at 4.2 to 5 grams per liter, and potential alcohol levels of 12% to 12.8% were similar to those of 2013. He asked me not to publish notes yet on the 2014s as these wines “are really only like children today.”

Roulot starts with a lot of lees but does not do any batonnage. He told me that he is now working "a bit more reductively," adding SO2 to the press and again at the end of the pressing. The 2013s here have turned out very well.
