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. 

'Clos des 6 Ouvres' is a monopole planted at the heart of Meursault, in the Domaine's garden, on clay-limestone soils. With an average vine age of 50 years, this Bourgogne punches well above its weight, consistently producing elegant and fresh wines.

Hand-harvested grapes are pressed whole-bunch, and the juice is allowed to cold settle for a few days before beginning fermentation with indigenous yeasts in neutral barrels. The wine is aged on fine lees with no stirring to maintain purity. Before bottling, the wine is not fined and no sulphur is added.
