Versatile Roulot, Meursault, 1er Cru 'clos Des Boucheres' 2020 Collection [NerJkotG]

Variety: Chardonnay

The legend Guy Rolulot made this esata one of legend in the early days before passing it along to his son turned actor Jean-Marc. 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. What sets the domaine even further apart is Jean-Marc’s commitment to a bright, chiseled, thoroughbred style of Meursault, while many other wines of this village tend towards richness and concentration. 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. Jean-Marc loves cooking believes the strong mineral backbone of his wines and their fresh acidity marry well with food. This is why one is more likely to find their wines in restaurants rather than in wine shops.

Roulot not only has some of the best parcels with quite a few old vines in Meursault, but his wines all speak to the nature of the minerality in the soils. Boucheres is a prized site within Meursault.
