The Land
This Meursault comes from the esteemed Les Narvaux vineyard, a site located high on the slopes above the village. The soil here, a combination of limestone and marl with a thin topsoil layer, brings a unique expression of Meursault with minerality and finesse. This vineyard has great exposure to the wind, which gives the wines great freshness and tension. Domaine Roulot farms this vineyard with organic practices, focusing on healthy soils and low yields to ensure the quality of their fruit.
The Wine
Domaine Roulot Meursault Les Narvaux offers a beautifully precise and refined expression of Meursault. It's a white wine marked by its minerality, elegance and tension. Expect to find crisp notes of lemon, green apple, and pear, layered with a hint of chalk and a touch of hazelnut. This is not a wine that overwhelms; it's all about subtlety and finesse. The texture is creamy and the acidity is lively, leading to a long, complex finish. It is aged in oak barrels, most of which are neutral, to preserve the unique character of this site.

Burgundy, in eastern France, encompasses several subregions, but it is the Côte d'Or that is home to many of the world's most expensive and revered wines. The region, primarily a single east-facing slope, has mixed limestone soils that vary dramatically from village to village and even vineyard to vineyard. White wines, crafted from Chardonnay, range from rich and opulent to lean and intensely mineral, while Pinot Noir produces silky, perfumed red wines of exceptional finesse and complexity. Centuries of winemaking tradition have resulted in every plot being meticulously recognized and scrutinized, making the Côte d'Or a true capital of terroir.
Burgundy - Cote d'Or
Chardonnay, one of the world's most versatile and beloved white grape varieties, showcases a remarkable spectrum of styles, from the lean, mineral-driven expressions of Chablis in France to the rich, buttery, and oak-aged versions from California's Napa Valley. Its adaptability extends to cooler climates such as Burgundy, where it achieves elegance and complexity, and to regions like Australia's Yarra Valley, known for producing vibrant and fruit-forward renditions. This grape's ability to reflect its terroir, coupled with winemaking techniques, results in a wide array of profiles, including unoaked, crisp varieties with apple and citrus notes, to full-bodied wines with tropical fruit flavors and creamy textures.
