Domaine Rollin Pere & Fils

Raymond Rollin was a vineyard worker in another wine business in the village of Pernand Vergelesses, as had been his father before him. Despite his modest earnings, as the years passed he managed to acquire several parcels of vines that he then cultivated outside his working hours. These parcels became the foundation for the family domain. 

His son Maurice took a personal decision to set up his own business in 1955. It was Maurice who started to commercialize a part of the bottle production. He had a great sense of sharing, welcoming, and exchanging with people. At the same time, Maurice his wife Christiane undertook the management of other parcels of vines on a rental basis and struggled to acquire new land.

In 1976, Maurice was joined by his son Rémi. Together they planted those pieces of land that would take the surface area of the domain up to almost 10 hectares at the beginning of the 1980s. Then they undertook the building of the working area necessary to cope with that growth. Thereafter with Rémi’s wife Agnès, they rapidly developed sales in France but also abroad. Since the middle of the 1990s, all the production is bottled and commercialized under their own label. They have always felt the need to progress in quality of production while taking care to preserve and pass on their savoir‑faire.

Their son Simon took up the challenge beside them in 2003, joined by his wife Caroline in 2009. Close at heart is their desire for the long life of their business while looking after the essential aspect of its working environment; namely the vine.
