Domaine Rollin Pere & Fils Description

Raymond Rollin was a vineyard worker in another wine business in the village, as had been his father before him. Despite his modest earnings, as the years passed he managed to acquire several parcels of vines that he then cultivated outside his working hours (notably the parcel of Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru Ile des Vergelesses which is so dear to our hearts today). His son Maurice took a personal decision to set up his own business from 1955. It was Maurice who started to commercialise a part of the production in bottle. He had a great sense of sharing, of welcoming and exchanging with people.

In 1976, Maurice was joined by his son, Rémi. Together, they planted those pieces of land that would take the surface area of the domain up to almost 10 hectares at the beginning of the 1980s. Simon, their son, took up the challenge beside them in 2003, joined by his wife Caroline in 2009. Close at heart is their desire for the long life of their business while looking after the essential aspect of its working environment; namely the vine.

This cuvée is from different hillside slopes within the appellation. The soils are clay-limestone, shallow and lying on white limestone marls. For the most part, they are east-facing. On the nose, this wine offers a range of aromas such as apricot, acacia, hawthorn and a freshness that makes it very attractive in its youth. On the palate, it develops lovely roundness and pleasant richness where the sinewy tension and minerality typical of this appellation are well integrated.
