Jean-Marc Roulot Beaune Premier Cru Teurons 2023
(Burgundy, France) - [JM 90-93] [WA 90-92] [BH 90]

About the Winemaker:
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. Guy's marriage to Genevieve Coche and his own hard work added more prime parcels to the family's holdings, which he vinified and bottled separately - a novelty for a domaine which had been distilling, rather than vinifying, their grapes just a generation before. As a result, Domaine Roulot has become the master of the lieu-dit, not to mention the five premier cru parcels they farm in Meursault and Monthelie. Guy's sudden death in 1982 left the family in transition, as his son, Jean-Marc was in Paris pursuing a career in acting. A series of three winemakers aided in the changeover until 1989, when Jean-Marc was at last ready to take on the direction of the estate.

Ratings & Reviews

90-93 Points - Jasper Morris:
"A new acquisition, 1.02ha adjacent to Beaune Grèves, picked in two sections, above and below, and vinified separately then assembled at the recent racking. No deeper in colour than the Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru, but very much so in the fruit expression on the nose. A super sensual cherry and alpine strawberry fragrance. Very light foot treading. Excellent acidity which is important in 2023. Drink from 2027-2032." (Oct 2024)

90-92 Points - Wine Advocate:
"The 2023 Beaune 1er Cru Teurons is pretty and perfumed, wafting from the glass with notes of orange zest, sweet red berries, peonies and spices. Medium-bodied, supple and melting, with a floral finish, this inaugural vintage will appear under the Jean-Marc Roulot label, but subsequent renditions will be fully integrated into the domaine." – William Kelley (Jan 2025)

90 Points - Allen Meadows' Burghound:
"A more elegant and cooler nose of the essence of red berries and ample floral elements serves as a lovely intro to the utterly delicious and seductively textured flavors that deliver good length on the dusty and youthfully austere finale. This is on the lighter side but it's certainly refined. (Drink starting 2029)" - Allen Meadows (Apr 2025)
