Domaine Rollin began like many estates in Burgundy; a family of grape-growers who would otherwise sell of their fruit to a negociant, decided to instead make and bottle their own wine and developed a small and growing following of private clients. Now the domaine consists of 12 hectares run by the 4th generation of the Rollin family. The farming here is not certified organic, but the treatments in the vineyard are kept to an absolute minimum, meant only to avoid a true disaster. This cuvé is from a small parcel of Chardonnay planted in the western reaches of Pernand on into Echevronne. The slopes here don’t get as much sun as the others so in order to achieve better ripeness the yields are kept very low. This gives the wine beautiful balance of lively acidity and concentration.
