Domaine Rougeot Meursault Montagne Saint-Christophe San Soufre 2023

Pierre-Henri Rougeot has been quietly producing impeccable minimal intervention, low-sulphur wines since he returned to the family Domaine in 2010. 

Today, the Rougeot vineyards are farmed organically, and Pierre-Henri’s no sulphur vinification effortlessly balances a natural wine approach with traditional Burgundian technique to create wines with energy and balance.  Each individual terroir is bottled separately though often there is a bottling with a small addition of sulphur and one with zero added.

Whites are new wave Meursault so tension over fatness but still with a richness of fruit that typifies the village.

The parcel is located in Meursault, on a plot called Chaumes des Narvaux, just north of the 1er Cru zone of Les Gouttes d'Or. It's at a relatively higher altitude, about 280m, and the vines are 30 years old and have always been organically grown. It faces South-East, and the soil is all limestone; with a pebbly topsoil. The grapes are fermented in concrete and then racked into oak barrels, around 5% new, where the wine spends 18 months maturing. 

2023 is the first vintage at the winery to officially be demeter certified.
