About the Winemaker:

Since its founding in 1930, Domaine Roulot has consistently put out some of the best (if not the best) wines in all of Meursault. 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:

“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.” Following Guy’s untimely death in 1982, son Jean-Marc took the helm in 1989. Lynch continues: “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.” 

Viticulture & Vinification:
This wine comes from Jean-Marc Roulot’s négociant line of wines. It is crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail in the vineyard (organic) and cellar as his estate wines.
  • All grapes are hand-harvested and selected in the vineyard, and wines are vinified, raised, and bottled in the Roulot cellars by Jean-Marc Roulot.
  • Vineyards are farmed organically
  • The majority of vines are pruned in Guyot, with some in Cordon
  • Soils are plowed regularly
  • Yields are limited by de-budding
  • A rigorous sorting of the grapes follows the harvests

Ratings & Reviews

94 Points - Decanter Magazine:
"Jean-Marc Roulot bottles this under his negociant label, sourcing it from a single supplier where he determines the picking date of the vineyard. This has a winning combination of orange zest and aniseed aromas, aromatic 20% new wood, racy minerality and enticing palate length. It's a shame there is so little of it to go around." - Tim Atkin, MW (10/19/2018)

92-94 Points - Allen Meadows' Burghound:
"This too is attractively spicy with its combination of mineral reduction, acacia blossom and subtle citrus nuances. There is both fine volume and punch to the more concentrated medium-bodied flavors that exude evident minerality on the gorgeously long finish that flashes focused power. This could use a bit more depth, but the underlying material appears to be there and overall, I found this to be quite promising." (6/10/2020)

91-93+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets wafts from the glass with a pretty bouquet of pear, citrus oil, white flowers and nutmeg. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with a bright spine of acidity and a long, mineral finish. This is decidedly promising." - William Kelley (2/13/2020)
