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 father's success so well that the wines are now extremely hard to acquire and to afford for most of us.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 92
"Here the reduction is sufficiently strong to completely dominate the nose and rendering an evaluation impossible. There is excellent volume to the textured and plush middle weight flavors that possess plenty of mid-palate density, indeed the abundant dry extract coats the mouth on the saline-infused finish. This is a terrific villages with superb length for its level."

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"Aromas and flavors of lemon, honey and wet stone are less fruity than those of the Vireuils. Dense, silky and fine-grained, but with penetrating acidity (nearly five grams per liter, according to Roulot) giving brilliant cut to the mid-palate. Very taut and extremely long, this outstanding village wine will need at least a few years to open and should age gracefully." -Stephen Tanzer

Robert Parker

RP 91
"The 2010 Meursault Meix Chavaux has a wonderful almond and hazelnut-scented bouquet with superb definition and intensity, hints of wild honey emerging with aeration. The palate is very well-defined with a touch of spice on the entry, though the 2011 displays superior delineation and tension toward the finish." -Neal Martin
