- PRODUCER NOTES
- FARMING & WINEMAKING NOTES
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 fruit for Sous la Velle comes from a single organically certified parcel below the village of Meursault planted on clay-limestone soils. Since taking over the Domaine in 2010 Pierre-Henri has implemented a more hands-off approach to winemaking; using a smaller proportion of new oak to ferment and age, only indigenous yeasts for fermentation, and minimal sulphites at bottling.
2023 is the first vintage at the winery to officially be demeter certified.
