Domaine Rollin manages almost 14 hectares of vines in five different villages or communes of the Côte de Beaune. It is impossible for us to create great wines without good grapes from well-maintained terroirs. This is why it is essential to work as cleanly, neatly and naturally as possible. In this process we are certified by Terravitis since 2015. We hope to be as “neutral” as possible regarding the crop harvested so as to allow our wines to really reflect their terroir for you.

The vineyard work is meticulous and, although not certified organic, the methodology in practice is applied in a manner designed to maximize the expression of terroir by eliminating (or reducing to an absolute minimum) any treatments in the vineyards. All grapes are harvested manually and fermentations proceed with indigenous yeasts. 

“Les Cloux” is a well-situated lieu-dit on the north side of the hill of Corton, adjacent to the premier cru “Sous Frétille”. It lies on a high-altitude, steep part of a hill, but a general lack of direct breezes there ensures its ripeness. The wine shows a lower-pitched, deeper nose than Rollin’s basic Pernand-Vergelesses, but with equivalent limestone intensity—more solid in its character than powdered. It is richer and thicker in the mouth as well, but the balletic acidity holds it together perfectly.
