1993 Rollin Pere, Hautes Cotes De Beaune - Burgundy

From the elevated slopes west of Beaune, this 1993 Rollin Père et Fils is a rare snapshot of old-school Burgundy. The Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, known for its cooler microclimate and limestone-rich soils, offers leaner, more structured expressions of Pinot Noir. In '93, Burgundy saw a classic, cooler vintage—low yields, tricky weather, but superb ageing potential for those who got it right. Rollin Père, a small, family-run domaine in Pernand-Vergelesses with just 12 hectares under vine, absolutely nailed it.

Now with over 30 years of bottle age, this wine unfurls with forest floor, dried cherry, sous bois, and a whisper of truffle. Tannins have melted into silk, acidity still fresh—proof of the terroir’s class and the domaine’s steady hand. Serve with roast guinea fowl, mushroom pâté, or a mature Comté. A quiet legend from Burgundy’s hillside backstreets—aged to perfection.
