Jean-Marc Roulot

Jean-Marc Roulot is among Meursault's most celebrated producers and one of the reference addresses for white Burgundy globally. An actor by training who returned to his family domaine in 1989, Roulot has elevated the estate's wines to cult status through meticulous viticulture, minimal intervention, and an uncompromising focus on terroir expression over technique. The domaine covers approximately 8 hectares in Meursault, with Premier Cru parcels in Genevrières, Charmes, Perrières, Poruzots, and Les Vireuils, plus a small Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru parcel. Roulot also makes a rare Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Le Cailleret, giving the domaine reach across Meursault and Puligny. Winemaking is strictly non-interventionist: whole-cluster pressing, native fermentations, aging in a small percentage of new oak, and bottling without fining or filtration. The wines are noted for their combination of richness and precision — more Chablis-like tension than typical Meursault opulence in the best vintages. At auction, Roulot averages $395 per bottle across 212 lots with peaks to $2,390, driven by Chevalier-Montrachet and Genevrières Premier Cru from top vintages including 2014, 2017, and 2019. The Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Le Cailleret is Roulot's rarest offering — produced from a shared ownership of one of Puligny's most complex Premier Crus, appearing at auction less frequently than any other wine in the range.
