Few winemakers have mastered the purity and intensity that Guy and Jean-Marc have. As time goes on, Roulot continues to set the benchmark for top-notch white Burgundy. Here’s what importer Kermit Lynch has to say about this producer:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Guy Roulot, a legendary producer of some of the finest Meursaults, if not some of the world’s finest white wines, took his family’s small production domaine to stardom.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFollowing Guy’s untimely death in 1982, son Jean-Marc took the helm in 1989. Lynch continues:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Since then, Jean-Marc’s progress has brought even more notice to a domaine that had already enjoyed a great reputation. The wines of Domaine Roulot are now among the most sought after wines in all of Burgundy.  Jean-Marc has been successful in fine-tuning the domaine’s particular, stand-out style…Jean-Marc’s wines certainly express a certain depth and sumptuousness thanks to the appellation’s terroir, however his wines also show focus and restraint. Their elegance and amazing precision lend themselves to long aging in the cellars.” \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture \u0026amp; Vinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis wine comes from Jean-Marc Roulot’s négociant line of wines.

Otherwise, there is good punch and concentration to the generously proportioned and sappy flavors that retain good delineation on the lightly stony and youthfully austere finale. This well-balanced effort is both delicious and refreshing and a wine that should drink well young and with mid-term cellaring.
