In the glass
Colour
Bright, luminous straw yellow with greenish reflections.
Nose
Delicate notes of citrus fruits, green apple and white blossoms, accompanied by a hint of fresh butter, subtle spice and cool minerality.
Palate
Dry and precise on the palate, with crisp acidity, succulent fruit and a saline, long-lasting finish.
Character
Vibrant, transparent and full of energy – a purist Burgundy that clearly reveals the signature of its sulphur-free maturation.
Pairing
Grilled fish with lemon, fine poultry in a light cream sauce or creamy risotto with young vegetables.
Notes
Matured entirely without added sulphur, spontaneously fermented and neither filtered nor fined – the diagonally striped label at Rougeot stands for this uncompromising purity; the estate is organically certified and in conversion to Demeter.
Tasting note
Character
A Chardonnay of unadorned clarity, showcasing the Côte d’Or in its purest form. Fine citrus notes meet white blossoms and a hint of freshly crushed grain. On the palate, it develops remarkable tension and salty precision – a wine that speaks of its origin without disguise.
Terroir & Origin
The plots lie in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, where limestone soils have been producing world-class Chardonnay for centuries. Pierre-Henri Rougeot farms his 12.6 hectares around Meursault according to a credo inherited from his grandfather Hubert: “There can be no good wine from poor soil.” For him, biodynamic farming – certified organic since 2020, in Demeter conversion since 2021 – is not a marketing strategy but the answer to a concrete problem: premox in certain plots forced him to rethink his approach.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Chardonnay in its Burgundian homeland, vinified with radical restraint. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts is standard practice, and sulphur additions are eschewed throughout the entire ageing process – the “Sans Sulfite Ajouté” in the name is to be taken literally here. Maturation takes place in 228-litre Burgundy casks with a deliberately low proportion of new wood, without bâtonnage, without filtration, without fining. The result: a wine of crystalline transparency that does not hide its fruit behind wood.
Food Pairings
Its vibrant acidity and mineral depth make it a versatile food companion: with grilled sole in a butter and lemon sauce, with roast chicken seasoned with thyme, or with young Comté. It also shines alongside chanterelle risotto or simply fresh baguette with salted butter. The magnum bottle calls for company – and for a second glass that tastes even better than the first.
