Lemon Spirit | 35% ABV Fruit: Organic lemon Source: Sicily Production: The lemon juice is distilled, after which the skins are infused into the distillate.

Le Citron sits somewhere between an eau-de-vie and a traditional limoncello, but with considerably less emphasis on sugar. The combination of distillation and infusion allows Jean-Marc to capture different dimensions of the lemon while preserving the dry, energetic style that characterizes the range.

Jean-Marc Roulot is best known through Domaine Roulot where an extraordinary sensitivity to vineyard, place and élevage has made the domaine one of the defining estates of contemporary Meursault. His work as a distiller is another, less familiar expression of those same instincts.

This is not a recent diversion from winemaking. The Roulot family has distilled in Meursault for more than 150 years, and Jean-Marc’s spirits represent both the continuation of that history and its gradual reinvention. Working with pears, raspberries, apricots, lemons and mirabelles, he approaches distillation with much the same philosophy that guides the domaine’s wines: begin with exceptional fruit, intervene with precision, and preserve as much of its original character as possible.

The result is a small collection of eaux-de-vie and liqueurs remarkable for their purity and definition—spirits that taste first and foremost of the fruit from which they came.
