Domaine Rougeot Meursault Sous la Velle 2022

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 just before bottling.
