2023 Jean-Marc Roulot, Beaune, 1er Cru Les Teurons

Jean-Marc Roulot's meticulous viticultural philosophy, deeply rooted in organic farming and precise vineyard management, extends to his Beaune Premier Cru Les Teurons, even when working with purchased fruit to uphold his exacting standards. This Pinot Noir originates from the Côte de Beaune's clay-limestone soils, reflecting a clear intent to express the site's inherent character. The 2023 vintage, marked by overall warmth tempered by a less luminous summer, yielded a generous crop with balanced conditions. Despite a late-season heat spike, Roulot’s precise harvest timing ensured a wine with a vibrant structural profile, exhibiting bright acidity and elegant tannins. The result is a Beaune Premier Cru that conveys purity, energy, and a refined texture, characteristic of Roulot's pursuit of terroir transparency.
