Domaine Roulot is primarily celebrated for its exquisite white Burgundies from Meursault, yet Jean-Marc Roulot is increasingly making a name for his Pinot Noirs. The Beaune Les Teurons 1er Cru is a relatively new venture, with the 2023 being its debut vintage under his négociant label, and the 2024 is planned to be fully integrated into the domaine. The 2024 vintage in Burgundy proved challenging for Pinot Noir, marked by cold, wet weather during flowering, leading to poor fruit set, mildew, and the lowest yields since 1981. Despite these hurdles, the 2024 vintage is described as having low alcohol, transparent and airy fruit, and ripe phenolics, offering an elegant, harmonious "pre-global warming style." Expect a lighter-framed wine with notes of red berries, orange zest, peony, and baking spice, complemented by fine, dusty tannins and lively acidity. This cooler, more demanding vintage imparts a particularly fresh and delicate character. Roulot’s winemaking philosophy prioritises purity and balance, showcasing red cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, alongside violet, gentle spice, and earthy complexity. The palate is finely textured with supple tannins and bright acidity. A lovely savoury finish suggests it will gain further complexity with a few years in the cellar. 【A rare red Burgundy from a legendary white wine producer, showcasing a unique expression of a challenging vintage.】 🍴 This elegant Pinot Noir is a beautiful match for duck, roast chicken, wild mushrooms, or a classic coq au vin. It also pairs well with seared duck breast with a sour cherry pan sauce, a wild mushroom and Gruyère tart, roast quail with grapes and shallots, or grilled salmon over Puy lentils. 🥂 This wine offers a unique opportunity to explore Roulot's red wine craftsmanship. Its fresh and delicate profile makes it enjoyable in its youth, while its savoury finish indicates excellent ageing potential. Ideal for a refined dinner or a special occasion, particularly for those who appreciate nuanced terroir expression.
