From Grand Cru Imports:

"Domaine Roulot is an old family estate based in Meursault since 1820. It was Guy Roulot, Michele and Jean-Marc’s father, who raised this estate to the level of excellence that we know today. His marriage to Geneviève Coche, following his achievements in adding additional prime parcels to the family’s holdings put the estate in the spotlight. As a result, Domaine Roulot has become the master of the lieu-dit, not to mention the five premier cru parcels they farm in Meursault and Monthelie. Guy’s sudden death in 1982 left the family in transition, with Ted Lemon, an American who stepped up as cellar master before returning to California to found Littorai estate.

Jean-Marc Roulot returned to the estate in 1989, putting his acting career in Paris on pause. Since his return to Meursault, Jean­-Marc kept increasing the domain’s holdings through mix of vineyards purchase and fermage contracts."

"The majority of the grapes come from Clos de la Baronne, east of Les Gouttes d’Or. In addition are blends of vines from the heavier clay soils of the southern plots of Les Vireuils, Les Gruyaches, Les Crotots and les Sous la Velle. A generous, sappy and persistent Meursault that can be enjoyed straight away."

From William Kelley:

"Now including the domaine's southernmost holdings in Vireuils (which seems to help temper the softer profile of the Clos de la Baronne, its other main constituent), the 2023 Meursault Village exhibits notes of pear, pear and white flowers, followed by a medium-bodied, satiny and lfkehsy palate that's lively and charming."

Winemaking
The elevage is relatively long of around 18 months, while the wines are being racked into stainless steel tanks after a year. Aging on lees for one year in barrels and six months in vats using only natural yeasts reduces any need of batonnage.
