Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: A particular highlight this year is the 2020 Meursault Luchets, a beautifully balanced wine that wafts from the glass with notions of citrus oil, white flowers, nougat and orange oil. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it’s deep and tightly wound, with an intensely mineral profile.

Producer Information

Domaine Roulot, founded by Guillaume Roulot in 1830, is well respected Meursault-based domaine producing mainly Chardonnay wines from a range of premier cru and village-level sites across the appellation. The wines are held in high esteem by critics and are much sought-after. The domaine is currently run by actor-turned-winemaker Jean-Marc Roulot. Roulot has numerous holdings across Meursault premiers crus, including 0.28 hectares (0.69 acres) in Charmes, 0.26 hectares (0.64 acres) in Perrires and 0.16 hectares (0.39 acres) in Les Bouchres, as well as 0.2 hectares (0.5 acres) in neighboring Monthlie Premier Cru Les Champs Fulliots. A further four hectares (ten acres) cover village-level vineyards in Meusault such as Les Luchets and Les Tessons Clos de Mon Plaisir a wine strongly associated with the Roulot label. All are Chardonnay based wines, although the domaine also produces an Aligot, a Bourgogne Blanc and Rouge, an Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru, and a village-level red. The red wines are made from Pinot Noir Burgundy’s key red grape variety. Domaine Roulot established itself in the upper echelon of white Burgundy producers under the late Guy Roulot. Guy was one of the first producers of the region to bottle single vineyards separately, including village lieux-dits. He died in 1982 and his son Jean-Marc took over in 1989, farming the vineyards organically. As well as winemaking, Jean-Marc Roulot is also known for his cinematographic appearances (he initially studied screen acting in Paris), including the Burgundy-based coming-of-age film Ce Qui Nous Lie (released as “Back to Burgundy” for anglophone audiences), parts of which were filmed at the domaine.
