A Monthélie Village from Domaine Roulot, precise and true to its terroir

The Estate

Domaine Roulot was founded in 1830 by Guillaume Roulot in Meursault, Burgundy, where the family had already been established since the late eighteenth century. Today the estate is led by Félicien Roulot, who has taken over operational direction from Jean-Marc Roulot. Spanning around 13 to 16 hectares, mostly planted with chardonnay, Domaine Roulot is recognized as one of the benchmark names of Meursault, celebrated for wines marked by purity, tension, and precision rather than richness alone.

The Vineyard

The grapes for this wine come from vineyard parcels located in Monthélie, a small village nestled between Meursault and Volnay in the Côte de Beaune. The soils here are argillo-calcareous, lending the wines their characteristic finesse and structural backbone. This cuvée reflects Domaine Roulot's extension beyond its historic Meursault base into this neighboring, qualitative appellation.

The Vintage

The 2023 vintage in Burgundy is considered a promising year, marked by good ripeness while preserving freshness despite a warming climate context.

Winemaking and Aging

It is vinified with care aimed at preserving the purity of the fruit and the finesse of the tannins, consistent with the estate's broader approach of minimal intervention and respect for each terroir's character.
