Histoire du domaine
The Roulot family has been based in Meursault since the late 18th century. The estate, in its modern form, developed primarily from the 1950s onwards under the leadership of Guy Roulot, born in 1929. His marriage to Geneviève Coche coincided with the expansion of the family’s wine-growing estate. Guy Roulot played a key role in promoting the separate bottling of wines from several ‘lieux-dits’ in Meursault. Following his death in 1982, the estate was temporarily managed by a succession of winemakers. His son Jean-Marc Roulot, who was then pursuing a career as an actor in Paris, finally took over the estate in January 1989. He continued to expand the vineyard and converted the vines to organic farming from 1999 onwards. The estate is now run by Jean-Marc Roulot, with Éric Bodin as cellar master and head of winemaking at his side.
Le Porusot
Le Porusot is a climat officially classified as Premier Cru of the AOC Meursault, legally distinct from the neighboring climat named Porusot. The historical specifications link it to a part of the cadastral lieu-dit Le Porusot. It is located on the wine-growing hillside southwest of the village, and a spring dedicated to this climat indicates an east to southeast exposure. The available institutional geological data more broadly concern the Premiers Crus of Meursault, established on Middle Jurassic limestones or marls and, locally, on gravelly scree.

Histoire de la parcelle
The vineyard of Meursault has been documented since the 11th century, notably with the holdings established by the Abbey of Cîteaux starting in 1098. The renowned climats of Meursault entitled to bear the Premier Cru designation were officially recognized in 1943; Le Porusot is now listed in the regulatory list of Premier Cru climats, separately from Porusot. The old cadastral records preserved in the Departmental Archives of Côte-d'Or also document the sector under the name "Le Porusot dessus".
