MEURSAULT
Domaine Rougeot
Père & Fils
From the heart of Meursault,
we are delighted to welcome
Domaine Rougeot & Fils.
Pierre-Henri, having taken over from his father Marc, operates the 13 ha family estate producing wines of Meursault, Monthélie, Saint-Romain, Pommard and Volnay. He has been quietly producing impeccable minimal intervention, low-sulfur wines since he returned to the family domaine in 2010, farming the vineyards organically. Pierre-Henri’s no sulfur vinification effortlessly balances a natural wine approach with traditional Burgundian technique,
creating wines with energy and balance.
While all of the wines are vinified sans soufre, each barrel is tasted regularly throughout élevage. Small amounts of SO2 are added when needed to individual barrels. When possible, Rougeot keeps each barrel completely sans soufre and bottles it under the alternate diagonal stripe label, though these quantities are always very limited for the village and premier cru wines.
Each terroir from Aligoté and Passe-Tout-Grains through Premier Crus is bottled as a single-vineyard designate. The wines are energetic, precise, and delicious!
It is simply astounding that Domaine Rougeot has maintained a quiet profile
while producing such compelling wines and we can’t wait to share.
