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.
Vineyard management
Certified Organic, Organic-Biodynamics
Details
| Vineyard | The lieu-dit Sous la Velle is located at the foot of a hill and opposite the Chateau de Meursault. The soil in this part of the appellation is somewhat richer and has less limestone. The grapes here also tend to ripen later than in other parts of the commune. |
|---|---|
| Vinification | The grapes for this wine are handpicked and alcoholic fermentation takes place in concrete barrels. Pierre-Henri Rougeot works with large wooden barrels instead of the commonly used barriques. He prefers demi-muids and then with minimal toasting. Wine should taste like the vintage and terroir, not wood. The wine spends 15 months in wooden barrels of which some 5-10% are new barrels. |
| Vintage | 2022 |
| Oak aging | Yes |
