Visit to Domaine Roulot – Tasting the 2023s

The 2023 vintage is tricky as the ripeness builds very fast at the end, causing many vignerons to have problems with overripe phenolics.

To combat this eventuality, Domaine Roulot has increased the harvesting teams from 35 to 50 pickers a few years back, and this has given more degrees of freedom regarding the harvest.

The 2023s at Domaine Roulot are surprisingly free from overipe phenolics … a treat with little or almost no problems with the phenolic ripeness.

The 2023s can be vivid and quite elegant if the ripeness is not too advanced. The high yields normally ensure that we don’t have too-high ripeness of the grapes … if harvest was done à point.

Let’s taste … Nothing more to say, really, so – to the notes!

Domaine Roulot 2023 tasting on April 15th 2025

Jean-Marc Roulot Bourgogne Blanc 2023

The Bourgogne Blanc is a bit on the ripe side … rich but still some zappiness. It’s generous and lively but slightly warm, meaning quite a hint of global warming like many other years. Has a this slightly yellow note to the fruit … not bad, but borderline.

(Drink From 2025) – Very Good – (87-88p)

Jean-Marc Roulot Meursault 2023

The Meursault village is from different plots in the appellation, but it mostly comes from Clos de la Baronne. It’s quite cool and classic … the extra pickers have made magic with this wine. A wine that can serve many purposes … from apéro to Turbot. Good combination perhaps!

(Drink From 2032) – Very Good – (89p) –

Domaine Roulot Meursault Les Clous 2023
The Les Clous plot is new coming from the sale and exchange of vineyards between Bouchard Père et Fils and Roulot (and de Montille). It still has a note that reminds me of Bouchard Les Clous, but this could possibly disappear. Never liked Les Clous much before … hope it can change!

(Drink From 2030) – Very Good – (89p)
