Colour

It is pale yellow and bright.

AROMA:

It is a wine full of fine, delicate fruit aromas and silky vivacity. It has a slightly exotic side, but still vibrant. Thus, the nose is floral, citrus and has an almost imperceptible hint of wood. It reminds us of blood orange.

TASTE:

In the mouth, it has a ripe acidity that makes us think that we are tasting a powerful and intense wine, referring to the structure. The bottle will undoubtedly give it maturity, so a long aging in the bottle will be superb for it, as it will express many more characteristics as it ages.

We will find the perfect pairing with white meats, such as chicken and turkey, mainly stewed and baked.

Guy Roulot is one of the legendary producers of Meursaults of the highest quality. He started winemaking when he married Geneviève Coche. Thus, Domaine Roulot becomes a master of the "lieu-dit", he also owns 5 "premier crus" which he cultivates in Meursault and Monthelie. In 1982 Guy Roulot died suddenly and the winemaking project was left in the hands of his son Jean-Marc, who took over the management of the winery in 1989.

Since then, Domaine Roulot has been gaining an undoubted reputation. The wines have their own style. It is a pioneer in the production of plot wines. The viticulture is organic. They are also committed to making wines that express a certain depth and sumptuousness thanks to the "terroir" itself, they are elegant and brilliant wines. This precision in winemaking leads them to be wines for cellaring, with a long aging in bottle. The acidity with which they work makes the wines pair perfectly with many types of dishes.

Regarding vinification, they age all the Chardonnay they make, both in stainless steel tanks and in oak barrels, of which between 15 and 18% are new. They also work the aging on lees and every 3-4 weeks they do "batônnage" until the moment of malolactic fermentation. The aging in barrels on lees is usually 11 months, after which the wine is racked to stainless steel tanks for a further 7 months.
Clos des Bouchères saw its first vintage in 2011.
