Tasting Note:
The 2022 Les Grandes Gouttes from Domaine Rougeot is a pure, expressive Bourgogne Blanc that punches well above its appellation. Aromas of white peach, pear, and Meyer lemon lead into notes of acacia, hazelnut, and a gentle mineral undertone. On the palate, it is textured and vibrant, balancing ripe orchard fruit with citrus zest and saline-driven precision. Aged in barrel with minimal new oak, the wine shows both roundness and lift, carrying through to a long, chalky finish. This is a versatile, terroir-driven Chardonnay with the pedigree of Meursault fruit, perfect for enjoying now but capable of developing over the next 5–7 years.

About the Producer:
Domaine Rougeot, based in Meursault, is a historic, family-run estate now led by the dynamic Pierre-Henri Rougeot. Since taking over, Pierre-Henri has converted the domaine to organics and embraced minimal intervention winemaking, emphasizing native fermentations, low sulfur, and careful élevage. His wines capture the essence of Meursault terroir—expressive, energetic, and crafted with integrity—making Domaine Rougeot one of Burgundy’s most exciting rising domaines.
