It sits mid-slope on a small rise just above town, between Les Grèves and Clos de la Mousse, facing east to southeast. Soils are clay and limestone, with limestone dominant, giving reds with firm structure and mineral drive rather than the softer, rounder style found on Beaune's lower ground. Roulot's 1.02 hectares lie right next to Grèves. For a domaine whose name is built on Chardonnay from Meursault, this premier cru Pinot Noir from Beaune marks a real change in direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Domaine Roulot Beaune 1er Cru Teurons 2024 is 100 percent Pinot Noir and the second vintage from this site. In the debut 2023, the parcel was picked in two sections, fermented separately, and made entirely whole cluster before the lots were assembled. 2024 was hardest on Pinot Noir. Cold, wet weather at flowering caused poor fruit set and millerandage, mildew attacked in May and again in late June, and Burgundy recorded its lowest yields since 1981. In the Côte de Beaune, reds lost far more than whites; one Côte de Beaune grower lost two-thirds of his red crop and a third of his white. Natural potential alcohol ran roughly 11 to 12.5 percent. Expect a lighter-framed Teurons: red berries, orange zest, peony, and baking spice, with fine, dusty tannins and lively acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe People\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed wine has always been a side note at Roulot. The domaine's only reds for decades came from under a hectare of Monthélie and Auxey-Duresses premier cru. Teurons changes that. Jean-Marc acquired the parcel in time for the 2023 harvest and released that first vintage under his négoce label, Jean-Marc Roulot, with plans to bring it fully into the domaine from 2024. His red-wine instincts have deep roots next door. In the 1990s he made some of the white wines for Domaine de Montille in Volnay, and he married Alix de Montille, daughter of the late Hubert de Montille, one of Volnay's benchmark Pinot Noir growers. Teurons gives Roulot, a name long tied to white Burgundy, a red from a premier cru with real weight behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright acidity and fine tannin make this a red for cooking that leans savory. Sear duck breast skin-side down until crisp and finish with a sour cherry pan sauce; the fruit in the wine meets the cherries while the acidity cuts the fat. Bake a wild mushroom and Gruyère tart with fresh thyme for an earthy match to the wine's spice. Roast quail with grapes and shallots suits its lighter frame. Grilled salmon over Puy lentils with sherry vinegar works because the tannins are fine enough not to clash with fish. Pour it on a cool fall evening when dinner is simple and the people at the table are the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Stelvio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67987892109535,"sku":null,"price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0439\/7436\/1248\/files\/PA170553.jpg?v=1792285080","url":"https:\/\/danverwinemerchant.com\/products\/domaine-roulot-beaune-1er-cru-teurons-2024","provider":"Denver Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
