2023 Domaine Roulot Meursault “A Mon Plaisir Clos du Haut Tesson”, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

“Clos du Haut Tesson” is a walled lieu-dit on the mid-slope above Meursault, planted exclusively to Chardonnay and farmed organically by Domaine Roulot. While not classified as Premier Cru, this parcel consistently performs at that level thanks to its shallow, stony soils and excellent sun exposure. Jean-Marc Roulot vinifies this bottling under the unique label “À Mon Plaisir,” a personal homage to the site’s exceptional quality and emotional significance within the domaine.
The 2023 vintage brings crystalline purity and lifted aromatics, with native yeast fermentation in French oak (typically 20–25% new) and aging for 12+ months without bâtonnage. The result is a wine of vivid clarity and understated complexity, balancing ripe citrus and orchard fruit with firm minerality and refined structure. An ideal companion to dishes like Dover sole, veal in white wine sauce, or fresh goat cheese with herbs.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Domaine Roulot, led by Jean-Marc Roulot, stands at the pinnacle of white Burgundy, revered for its unwavering commitment to terroir expression, organic farming, and a style that values tension and elegance over weight or opulence. Since taking over the family domaine in the late 1980s, Jean-Marc has become a defining voice of Meursault, crafting wines that are as intellectual as they are emotionally resonant.
“À Mon Plaisir – Clos du Haut Tesson” exemplifies Roulot’s philosophy: a site-specific, low-intervention Chardonnay that delivers Premier Cru-level complexity with absolute transparency. It is a wine of contemplation and pleasure—true to its name.
