Jean-Marc Roulot has developed something of cult-like status for his wines, perhaps second only to those of Coche-Dury in the village of Meursault. The reasons for this are quite simple: they are of excellent quality; they can be exceedingly difficult to obtain; and above all, they are absolutely compelling.
Drawing from a little less than nine hectares of vineyards, including four premier crus of painfully small sizes, the vineyards have all been organic for around 20 years, and in more recent times are gradually being converted to biodynamics.
Roulot’s wines are invariably very complex wines, whilst less rich than those of, say, Comte Lafon, they are still fully-flavoured and age superbly.

A very Meursault nose features notes of hazelnut, apple, pear, citrus and acacia blossom. Here too the medium weight flavors possess a beguiling sense of vibrancy along with better mid-palate density, all wrapped in a more complex, clean, dry and crisp finish that exudes an appealing hint of salinity.
