Presentation
Domaine Rollin Père & Fils has been established in the heart of the village of Pernand-Vergelesses for 80 years. Each generation has sought to acquire new plots of vines to enhance and expand the family heritage. Rémi Rollin has been at the helm of the business since 2003, supported by his son Simon and daughter-in-law Caroline. Their 14 ha vineyard is spread over 4 Côte de Beaune communes: Pernand-Vergelesses, Aloxe-Corton, Chorey-les-Beaune, Savigny-les-Beaune.
Location
Plots are east-facing, situated mid-slope.
Terroir
The soil is relatively poor, composed of clay-limestone.
In the vineyard
Key stages include careful soil management, vine treatments tailored to seasonal conditions, and yield control. On these later-ripening terroirs, harvesting may be done mechanically or manually depending on the vintage.
Harvest
Depending on the year, grapes are harvested either by hand or machine.
Winemaking
Grapes are gently pressed to preserve their full aromatic complexity. After a light settling, the must ferments naturally in 400-liter oak barrels. No new wood is used for this cuvée. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally during the winter.
Ageing
The wine remains on its lees until spring, when it is racked and blended. After a light filtration, bottling is carried out at the estate.
