About this wine
Domaine Roulot's Meursault Tessons Clos de Mon Plaisir is a benchmark expression of Meursault terroir. Sourced from a unique monopole within the Les Tessons lieu-dit, this wine is celebrated for its remarkable precision, tension, and mineral depth. Unlike more opulent Meursaults, Jean-Marc Roulot crafts this cuvée with a focus on crystalline purity, vibrant acidity, and a long, saline finish. It consistently demonstrates the elegance and structural integrity that define the Roulot style, making it one of the most sought-after village-level wines in Burgundy. 'Clos de Mon Plaisir' ('The enclosure of my pleasure') is Roulot's personal monopole, a name reflecting the joy he finds in this singular parcel.
This is the ultimate Chardonnay masterclass — precise and mineral, not heavy or oaky; it will redefine your understanding of white wine.
Sommelier's Note
"Village-level Meursault that outperforms most Premiers Crus — its monopole Clos de Mon Plaisir is proof that the right farmer in the right parcel transcends any classification."
Food Pairings
Pairs exceptionally well with grilled lobster, roasted poultry with herbs, turbot with beurre blanc, and aged Comté cheese. Its crystalline acidity is a revelation with Japanese dishes: tai no kobujime (sea bream kelp cure), steamed egg custard with sea urchin, and Kyoto-style simmered white fish.
When to drink it
Ideal for milestone celebrations, Michelin-starred dining experiences, or as the centerpiece for a serious Burgundy collector's dinner.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does it taste like?
- Crystalline precision with citrus, white flowers, crushed wet stones, a faint nuttiness, and a distinct saline mineral finish of extraordinary length.
- What is a monopole and why does it matter?
- A monopole is a vineyard owned exclusively by one producer. Clos de Mon Plaisir is Jean-Marc Roulot's personal monopole within Les Tessons, meaning only Roulot can produce this exact wine.
- When is the best time to drink it?
- Best between 5 and 15 years after the vintage; it enters a 'dumb phase' around years 3-5 and re-emerges with stunning complexity after year 8.
