Why We Stock It

This is a straightforward village-level Burgundy from the Côte de Beaune that rewards patience. The 2023 has the structure to improve over the next five to seven years, and at this price it offers the kind of aging potential you rarely find in modern Burgundy. Domaine Rollin makes wines that taste like where they come from, not like a formula.

Tasting Profile

A classical Burgundy with lift and composure.

• Aroma: Red cherry, forest floor, subtle oak
• Palate: Raspberry, earthy minerality, silky tannins, bright acidity
• Structure & Finish: Medium body, clean and persistent finish, graceful structure

Winemaking

Pinot Noir fermented and aged in a mix of neutral and older oak to preserve the fruit character without new wood dominance. The wine develops complexity in barrel while retaining the freshness typical of the appellation.

Serving & Pairing

Serve at 60 to 62 degrees Fahrenheit. A light decant thirty minutes before serving will open it up. Pair with roasted chicken or mushroom risotto for everyday drinking, or with beef tenderloin and red wine sauce if you want to mark the occasion. The acidity and tannin structure sit comfortably across both tables.

The Estate

Domaine Rollin is a small family grower in Aloxe-Corton that works its own vineyard holdings in the village and surrounding parcels. The estate favors traditional Burgundian methods and keeps production modest.

Terroir

Aloxe-Corton sits at the northern edge of the Côte de Beaune, where limestone-rich soils and southeastern exposure produce Pinot Noir with mineral backbone and red-fruit focus. The village appellation here tends toward elegance over weight, and this wine shows that character clearly.
