About the winemaker The Domaine Rougeot can be found in the heart of the village of Meursault. Marc Rougeot started the domain in 1975 and slowly built it up to the 13 hectares that the domain has today. The estate is situated at the foot of the Sainte Cristophe hill on the outskirts of the village of Meursault, from the vineyard on the estate you look out onto the vineyards of Monthélie. Pierre-Henri Rougeot has taken over the vinification and vineyard management from his father for several years. He changed a lot, biodynamic approach, little to no addition of sulfite and now certified organic.

Details

Vineyard	The vineyard of this Saint-Romain is located on a steep slope and planted with old vines, approximately 85 years old. Even though SaintRomain doesn’t have any vineyards classified as 1er Cru yet, the motion is underway and this vineyard is set to qualify.
Vinification	The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted in the vineyard. When the grapes arrive at the winery, they are gently brought to the press. After a long and gentle press cycle, after a cold sedimentation the must is pumped into barrels to undergo its alcoholic fermentation. “La Combe Bazin” is vinified like a Meursault, with a long maturation in oak barrels for 18 months. However, there are 15% new oak barrels, so that the wine can express its terroir as much as possible.
