Jean Marc Roulot was originally pursuing an acting career when his father unexpectedly passed away in 1982. His profound connection to the vineyards and his rich family heritage—highlighted by the fact that his mother, Genevieve Coche, is a cousin of Jean-Francois Coche of Coche-Dury—drew him back to manage the family estate.

Domaine Roulot's vineyards are cultivated organically, a practice Jean-Marc has been committed to since the early days of his tenure. The focus is on low yields to enhance the concentration of the wines. The vineyards are renowned for their age, with many vines being over 60 years old, contributing to the complexity and depth of the wines produced.

Despite the absence of grand cru vineyards in its 15-hectare estate, Roulot is renowned for its exceptional dry white wines from premier cru vineyards, including Porusot (0.42 ha) and Les Boucheres (1.38 ha). Boucheres is typically softer and rounder and is often harvested first. In contrast, Porusot is more muscular, offering great depth and concentration, and it ages well. The finest Premier Crus come from Charmes and Perrieres: Les Charmes (0.28 ha) is open and ripe with a wonderful structure, while Les Perrieres (0.26 ha) is fine, pure, and powerful, with richness, length, and class that develop beautifully over the years. Among his six village Meursault wines, Les Tessons Clos de Mon Plaisir (0.85 ha) shows depths akin to those of the Premier Crus.

Domaine Roulot remains a benchmark for fine Burgundian Chardonnay, with Jean-Marc Roulot's dedication to quality and sustainability ensuring that the domaine’s legacy will continue to thrive. The wines are characterized by their silkiness, purity, and clear expression of terroir. The Roulot style is distinguished by frank aromas that are not masked by either oak or lees, and a marked richness that, even in less opulent years, develops into the classic nut and honey character typical of Meursault.
