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. The Bourgogne Blanc from the very fine 2020 is a blend of the normal five hectares and benefited from a slightly later maturation. It has an attractive nose with apple blossom and hints of petrichor. The palate is well balanced with good body, citrus fresh with a hint of orange peel on the finish. The Bourgogne Blanc offers aromas of pear, citrus oil, white flowers, peach and freshly baked bread and is medium to full, satiny and sharp, with crisp acidity, fine concentration and a meaty but precise profile.
