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.
Pierre-Henri makes negociant wines under his own name sometimes sourcing from the family vineyards and other times form other organic and biodynamic producers.
The fruit comes from his family Estate, vineyards which are farmed organically. The production is miniscule. Pierre-Henri makes his wines with little intervention, meaning No SO2 until bottling and no fining and no filtration.
"Made from three of the four Rougeot plots in Sous La Velle. Such energy in the fresh green and gold colour. A certain opulence to the nose, perfect ripeness. Magically graceful, silky, with a base of ripe apples and a couple of more exotic notes. Not especially high in acidity,"
