About
Domaine Rougeot is located in the beautiful, historic village of Meursault in the Côte de Beaune, France. It covers 12 hectares of vineyard on Burgundy’s best slopes.
The Rougeot family has produced wine for five generations on appellations including Meursault-Charmes, Meursault “Sous la Velle”, Meursault “Monatine”, Volnay-Santenots, Pommard “Clos des Roses”, Monthélie “Les Toisières”, Saint-Romain “La Combe Bazin”, and regional appellations Bourgogne Chardonnay and Bourgogne Pinot Noir.
Producer and owner Marc Rougeot, now alongside his sons Pierre-Henri and Alexandre, energetically continue the family tradition with a mixture of modern, organic and traditional processes that get the best out of every vintage.
Domaine Rougeot's natural wine range (with the diagonally oriented label) is made from select barrels which have been perfectly stable during the maturation process and therefore do not require any addition of sulphur. To monitor this, each barrel during maturation is smelt and tasted every week to follow the evolution closely. It’s a very demanding process, which is highly rewarding in the glass.
After maturation, these wines are racked into stainless steel tanks, and bottled with a light filtration, they don’t see any additional sulphur. However, only a small part of the wines can achieve natural stability, and be bottled without sulphur. The rest is sulphured lightly and bottled under the traditional label. - Importer Note
