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. 

Not a typical Savigny-lès-Beaune, this vineyard actually lies closer to the Pernand-Vergelesses premier cru Les Fichots than it does to the main swath of Savigny proper. As such, it displays a savory limestone edge more in line with Rollin’s trio of Pernand premier crus than to more classically plump and fruit-driven examples of Savigny. With notable depth from its old vines—up to 70 years of age—it presents a firm, juicy aspect, with an attractive mentholated accent to its gleamingly pure cherry fruit. Only 20% new oak is employed. This small parcel permits us the privilege of purchasing slightly more than a single barrel per year (300 bottles plus some magnums).
