Origin France, Burgundy, Meursault

Founded in 1830 by Guillaume Roulot, Domaine Roulot is well respected Meursault-based domaine producing mainly Chardonnay wines from a range of premier cru and village-level sites across the appellation. The wines are held in high esteem by critics and are much sought-after. The domaine is currently run by actor-turned-winemaker Jean-Marc Roulot.

Roulot has numerous holdings across Meursault premiers crus, including 0.28 hectares (0.69 acres) in Charmes, 0.26 hectares (0.64 acres) in Perrières and 0.16 hectares (0.39 acres) in Les Bouchères, as well as 0.2 hectares (0.5 acres) in neighboring Monthélie Premier Cru Les Champs Fulliots.

All are Chardonnay-based wines, although the domaine also produces an Aligoté, a Bourgogne Blanc and Rouge, an Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru, and a village-level red. The red wines are made from Pinot Noir--Burgundy's key red grape variety.

Domaine Roulot established itself in the upper echelon of white Burgundy producers under the late Guy Roulot. Guy was one of the first producers of the region to bottle single vineyards separately, including village lieux-dits.

Genevrières is a Premier Cru-rated climat of the Meursault appellation in the Cote de Beaune. The site is located on the limestone slopes of the Cote d'Or escarpment. The east to southeast aspect provides ample exposure to the morning sunlight throughout the growing season. It sits in a small cluster of Premier Cru vineyards at the southern end of Meursault. These produce the commune's finest wines, which are renowned for being among the richer, more full-bodied Burgundy whites. Some of the complexity and aging potential of these wines is due to the fact that a lot of Meursault white is matured in oak barrels for slightly longer than whites from other communes.
