Description
Best known for his beautiful Meursaults, Jean-Marc Roulot also excels at making exquisite eaux de vies. Over the years we have regularly enjoyed these as a digestif in Beaune restaurants, and purchased bottles from the cellar door for our own consumption. We are delighted to have included some of this outstanding Poire Williams on our most recent shipment from the domaine.
Jean-Marc`s dedicates just as much care and attention to his distilled eaux de vies as he does to his wines. The pears for this were harvested at Orches, in the Haute Côtes de Beaune. Transparent in the glass, on the nose it has beautifully pure and balanced fruit aromatics: the essence of pears. Best served chilled, the palate is silky smooth, palate cleansing and totally refreshing. This is elegant, refined and incredibly harmonious. The ultimate digestif, to savour on its own, or with soft blue cheeses or fruit desserts.

Domaine Roulot
Jean-Marc Roulot produces some of Meursault’s most thrilling, perfectly-balanced wines. He has exemplary lightness of touch, the wines being exquisite expressions of individual vineyard sites, having precision and vibrancy. Their complexities develop harmoniously with bottle-age, whilst building length and retaining freshness.
The domaine`s prestigeous reputation was established by Jean-Marc`s father, Guy, who was a legendary producer of some of the finest Meursaults. His sudden death in 1982 left the family in transition, as Jean-Marc was in Paris pursuing a career in acting. However, by 1989 Jean-Marc was ready to take on the direction of the domaine, deciding to turn his attention to the vines rather than pursue a full-time career on the stage or in front of the camera.
The wines of Domaine Roulot are now among the most sought after of all of Burgundy. Jean-Marc has pioneered single-vineyard bottlings of Meursault, and is commited to a bright, chiseled, focused style of Meursault. In more recent years, he has also been re-establishing the family`s traditional craft of Eau de Vie and fruit liqueur production.
