Michel Rolland is an influential Bordeaux-based enologist, with hundreds of clients across 12 countries. He features prominently in Jonathan Nossiter's documentary Mondovino, in which he is portrayed unflatteringly as a agent of wine globalization. His signature style is fruit-heavy and oak-influenced, a taste shared by critic Robert Parker.

He owns several properties in Bordeaux, including Château Le Bon Pasteur in Pomerol, Château Bertineau Saint-Vincent in Lalande de Pomerol, Château Rolland-Maillet in Saint-Émilion, Château Fontenil in Fronsac, and Château La Grande Clotte in Lussac Saint-Émilion.
