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. 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.
