Domaine Rollin Père & Fils Description

By the mid-1980s, the Rollin family had accumulated ten hectares of vineyards and by the mid-1990s, Maurice and Remi determined to bottle all the wine made at the estate rather than to sell even a small percentage to negociants. In 2003, Simon Rollin, Remi’s son, joined the estate as the fourth generation vigneron.

In its present state (as of 2011), the Rollin domaine covers twelve hectares of vineyards, eight of which are owned with the other four being rented via the system of metayage or fermage. The vineyards are spread over five separate communes (Pernand Vergelesses, Savigny les Beaune, Echevronne, Aloxe Corton and Chorey les Beaune). The estate produces approximately 60,000 bottles (a mere 5,000 cases) per year across fourteen separate appellations!

The vineyard work is meticulous and, although not certified organic, the methodology in practice is applied in a manner designed to maximize the expression of terroir by eliminating (or reducing to an absolute minimum) any treatments in the vineyards. In almost every instance, neither the white wines nor the red wines are fined or filtered.

At the beginning of the 2000's, the Rollins acquired a tiny parcel of very old vines in this premier cru. The resulting wine is dazzlingly energetic, a swarm of enveloping mineral and spice aromas giving way to a palate of thrilling intensity and concentration. The overall impression of Sous Frétille is sleeker than that of Les Cloux, but there is no less power in reserve, and its intri- cate, multilayered personality hints at its ultra-close proximity to grand cru territory
