In the center of Meursault village, Pierre-Henri Rougeot has been quietly producing impeccable, minimal intervention, low-sulfur wines since he returned to the family domaine in 2010. While all of the wines are vinified sans soufre, each barrel is tasted regularly throughout élevage. Small amounts of SO2 are added when needed to individual barrels. When possible, Rougeot keeps each barrel completely sans soufre and bottles it under the alternate diagonal stripe label, though these quantities are always very limited for the village and premier cru wines.
Les Lameroses is located in the northern part of Meursault below the village of Volnay. This cuvée is more structured and is bottled in the spring after 18 months of élevage.
"100% whole bunch, in barrel. Roses and strawberries, middleweight, good structure from the stems, thinking about some volatility and deciding against, needs a little more elevage but very promising. Then a further raft of fruit slides back across the palate two minutes later. "
