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
A beautiful southeast-facing hillside at over 350 meters altitude, nestled in a sheltered valley protected from prevailing winds.
Terroir
This terroir tends to be warmer in summer, contributing to the richness and depth of its wines.
In the vineyard
Key stages include thoughtful soil management, seasonal treatments, and careful control of yields. The vines benefit from a warm microclimate and are cultivated with respect for the natural balance of the site.
Harvest
The grapes are harvested by hand for the majority of the cuvée.
Winemaking
Grapes are gently pressed to preserve their integrity and aromatic finesse. After a light settling, the must ferments naturally in 400-liter oak barrels, with 20% new wood. If the vintage calls for it, lees may be stirred (“bâtonnage”) to enrich the wine. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally during the winter.
Ageing
The wine remains on its lees for 10 to 12 months before racking and blending.
