The 2017 Bourgogne Blanc from Roulot is a beautifully vibrant and finely etched wine, showcasing the vintage’s freshness through the domaine’s unmistakable precision. Aromas of lemon zest, green apple, white peach, and citrus blossom rise with clarity, supported by subtle notes of crushed stone and delicate herbal lift. On the palate, the wine is taut and lively, driven by bright acidity and a chiseled mineral backbone that gives the wine its signature tension. Flavors of citrus, pear skin, and light leesy nuances unfold with finesse, leading into a long, clean, and elegantly saline finish. True to Roulot’s style, the 2017 Bourgogne Blanc offers remarkable refinement and purity—an expressive, energetic wine that overdelivers well beyond its appellation.
Guy Roulot Description
Domaine Roulot stands as one of Meursault’s most revered and influential estates, celebrated for its uncompromising pursuit of precision, purity, and crystalline terroir expression. Under Jean-Marc Roulot’s stewardship, the domaine has become a benchmark for mineral-driven Chardonnay, shaped by rigorous organic farming, meticulous vineyard care, and an exacting, low-intervention philosophy. Native-yeast fermentations, gentle pressing, and long élevage in mostly neutral oak emphasize tension and detail over opulence. Even at the regional level, Roulot’s wines display the finesse, clarity, and energy that define the estate’s greatest Premier Crus, making the Bourgogne Blanc one of Burgundy’s most sought-after “entry-level” bottlings and an emblem of the domaine’s stylistic purity.
