Jean-Marc Roulot left a successful acting career in Paris to take the reins of his family's domaine in 1989, and Meursault has been the richer for it ever since. The Roulot style prizes finesse and precision—bright, chiseled Chardonnay that channels terroir rather than oak. Clos des Bouchères is a true walled vineyard—a 1.38-hectare monopole—and one of Meursault's most coveted premier cru sites. The 2017 vintage was a relief after seven consecutive years of hail, frost, and pest challenges; Meursault's well-sheltered premier crus fared particularly well, delivering concentrated fruit with good natural acidity. On the nose, crisp green orchard fruit, white currant, dried flowers, and fresh pastry. On the palate, medium to full-bodied and satiny, with an enveloping yet incisive profile sharpened by electric acidity and chalky extract. A domaine whose 1973 Meursault Charmes placed second in the Judgment of Paris—the pedigree here runs deep.

Left Domaine Roulot

The name Roulot is now a synonym for the very best wine that the village of Meursault can offer. It is rather remarkable when you consider that just 2 generations back the Roulot's were known as producers of Burgundian brandy and eau de vie. But Guy Roulot began leveraging the family's distilling success to purchase small plots of vines in Meursault and by the 1970's was known as a pioneer for producing top quality chardonnay from distinct parcels or ""lieu-dits"".

When Guy passed away unexpectedly in the early '80's his son Jean-Marc was pursuing acting in Paris. In 1989 he returned to take on the reigns of the small Domaine and in the following decades built on his fathers success so well that the wines are now extremely hard to acquire and to afford for most of us.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 95 November 2019
"The 2017 Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Bouchères is showing superbly from bottle, bursting with aromas of crisp green orchard fruit, white currants, dried flowers, nutmeg and fresh pastry. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and supple, with an enveloping but incisive profile, underpinned by electric acids and chalky extract. Confirming its status as the pretender to the throne chez Roulot, this is worth a special effort to seek out. " -William Kelley
