Bourgogne Aligoté Blanc

Domaine Roulot's Bourgogne Aligoté Blanc is made entirely from the Aligoté grape variety. It is a wine of great freshness and fine vivacity. The color is a pure, dense yellow.
The nose is bursting with fruit, dominated by citrus. There are also notes of cut hay. The fruit is repeated on the palate, with sweet buttery flavors that provide a fine balance with the fine acidity that emerges.
The Bourgogne Blanc Aligoté from Domaine Roulot contains assertive mineral notes that persist right through to its long finish.

Meursault 1er Cru Charmes - Blanc

Domaine Roulot's Meursault 1er Cru Charmes is made with the sole grape variety of Chardonnay. This is a great wine, with exceptional length.
The nectar is round and fat, harboring various other flavors that blend and complement each other wonderfully. In particular, you'll recognize notes of vanilla and honey, as well as hints of dried fruit.
The Meursault 1er Cru appears rich and opulent. Its brilliant golden yellow color heralds a voluminous attack on the palate. The minerality is clearly present, accompanied by aromas of walnut, citrus and pear.
