2007 | Domaine Roulot | Bourgogne Blanc

This 2007 Bourgogne Blanc is brimming with notes of citrus fruit, complemented by a gentle thread of spices and brisk acidity.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2007 Bourgogne displays some mineral intrigue with stony and savory crustacean-like notes, fruit pit bitterness, and hints of toasted nuts, allied to lemon and Persian melon. There is an invigorating sense of interplay between mineral and fruit elements here, carrying in to a finish of considerable.

• Allen Meadows: A fruity and very fresh nose of straw, citrus and a hint of hazelnut leads to rich, full and nicely voluminous with good concentration and reasonably fine depth, all wrapped in a delicious and lingering finish.

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 Perrières and 0.16 hectares (0.39 acres) in Les Bouchères, as well as 0.2 hectares (0.5 acres) in neighboring Monthélie 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 Aligoté, 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.
