Description
The history of Domaine Roulot dates back to the 1930s, when Guy Roulot, a trained pharmacist, inherited the vineyards in Meursault from his father. Guy made the decision to transition from the pharmacy to winemaking and founded Domaine Roulot. His dedication to producing high-quality wines laid the foundation for the estate’s reputation. In the late 1980s, Guy Roulot’s son, Jean-Marc Roulot, took over the estate from his father. Jean-Marc continued the family’s winemaking tradition and further elevated the estate’s status through his meticulous approach to viticulture and winemaking. Under Jean-Marc Roulot’s leadership, Domaine Roulot is known for its adherence to traditional Burgundian winemaking practices. The estate has embraced organic and biodynamic farming methods in the vineyards, with an emphasis on respect for the terroir and a desire to express the unique characteristics of each plot.
Jean-Marc Roulot is known for his meticulous attention to detail, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. The winery practices organic and biodynamic farming, and the grapes are hand-harvested. The use of indigenous yeasts for fermentation and maturation in French oak barrels, often with a significant percentage of new oak, contributes to the complexity and aging potential of the wines. Roulot's wines are highly sought after and considered rare for several reasons. First, the estate has relatively small vineyards, which limits total production. Second, the wines consistently receive high praise from critics, further increasing demand. Finally, the estate's dedication to quality and the artisanal nature of its winemaking contribute to the limited availability of these sought-after wines.
For the Jean-Marc Roulot Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, all the grapes are hand-harvested and selected in the vineyard and are vinified, matured and bottled in the Roulot cellars by Jean-Marc Roulot.
The extremely rare and beautiful Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has slightly exotic aromas in the nose with tones of lychee, white peach, herbs, jasmine tea and smoke. In the taste is an impressive wealth of lush, round and full nuances that 'cover' the entire mouth with an extract of, among other things, bittersweet lemons with a very focused and long finale. With the typical large structure, which one likes to find in this famous Grand Cru.

With the 2019 Meursault Village, Roulot's usual blend of Clos de la Baronne, Crotot, Gruyaches and Sous la Velle is complemented by a parcel of Narvaux and his young vines in Luchets. Wafting from the glass with scents of citrus oil, crisp green orchard fruit, fresh bread and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a ripe core of fruit girdled by bright acids.
Jean-Marc Roulot began picking on September 5, and he has once again produced a beautiful set of wines. Muscular, concentrated and chiseled, they reminded me of a racier version of Roulot's very successful 2015 portfolio—though he himself was inclined to fault them, complaining that "I can feel the alcohol," and tending to favor the suppler, more open-knit 2018s (even if I myself might incline in the opposite direction, at least with regard to the regional and communal appellations). On the subject of 2018s, which I revisited from bottle after harvest, Roulot explained last year that this was "our biggest crop since 1982—we produced even more wine in 2018 than in 1999!" That meant that Roulot was able to be selective at the press; after the usual gentle foulage, his 2018 press cycle began with fully 45 minutes at 0.2 bars, which liberated a great deal of effectively free run juice, with concomitantly low pH. When barreling down, Roulot also opted to keep more lees than usual to nourish the wines during their élevage. The results from bottle vindicate that approach: these are open, giving wines, but they take on additional levels of depth and concentration as one ascends the appellation hierarchy, the superb Perrières dominating the range even more than is usually the case. That Perrières, along with an important volume of other appellations, has been retained at the domaine for later release.

Production of Domaine Roulot
In the cellar, Jean-Marc takes a minimalist approach, using natural yeast for the fermentation and maturation of the wines in French oak barrels. The use of oak, including a significant proportion of new barrels, is a hallmark of Domaine Roulot's winemaking and contributes to the structure and complexity of the wines. Domaine Roulot is best known for its white wines, mainly made from Chardonnay. The estate owns vineyards in Meursault, including Premier Cru and Village plots. The winemaking approach at Domaine Roulot involves minimal intervention, with an emphasis on expressing the unique characteristics of the terroir.

Domaine Roulot produces wines from several vineyards in Meursault. These vineyards are known for producing wines with clear terroir-driven characteristics. It is important to note that availability and specific releases of Domaine Roulot may vary from vintage to vintage.
