The Domaine Roblot Marchand estate is located in Burgundy, more precisely in Chambolle-Musigny, which is one of the most prestigious areas of the Côte d'Or region. Frédéric Roblot is the heir to a family of vignerons who have been cultivating vines in this area since the beginning of the 20th century. He has abandoned the tradition of past generations who sold their grapes or wines to other producers, and has started to bottle the Domaine's wines directly under his own name. Thanks to his passion and love for his land, he has been able to adopt an artisanal approach that allows him to produce wines with an authentic face, which are the true expression of a great terroir. These bottles have the advantage of being immediately drinkable with great pleasure, but also age well, sometimes for 10 years or more.
The property covers a total of eight hectares, divided into various plots, which are located in the prestigious and famous areas of Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée and Hautes-Côtes de Nuits. These territories are tied to a millenary history, which from the Roman colonisation of Gaul, through the medieval era of the monasteries, have always managed to keep the winemaking tradition alive. The region enjoys ideal conditions for vines, with splendid sun-kissed hillside exposures and a cool, breezy climate, which is particularly suited to noble grapes such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It is in this region that the two grape varieties are able to express themselves at the highest levels, producing wines that for centuries have been considered among the best in the world.
The range of Roblot Marchand wines offers interesting expressions of the Burgundy terroir. Chambolle-Musigny, where the estate is located, is in the heart of the Côtes de Nuits region. It is a small village, formerly the seat of the Abbey of Cîteaux, with vineyards cultivated at an altitude of between 250 and 300 metres above sea level, facing east and with soils that are predominantly calcareous with the presence of clay. Its wines are distinguished by their intensity and longevity. The vineyards of Vosne-Romanée are the jewel in the crown of the Côtes de Nuits area, with some of the best Pinot Noir expressions. The presence of soils composed of limestone and clayey marls give the wines a rich, velvety and elegant character, with silky tannins. Last but not least, the Domaine Roblot Marchand also produces excellent labels of the Appellation Hautes Côtes de Nuits, which, especially in warmer vintages, offers wines with an excellent quality-price ratio.
