Wine Description for Bourgogne Côte d’Or „Les Grandes Gouttes“ Sans Sulfite Ajouté AOC 2022 3000ml Double Magnum by Rougeot Père & Fils

Character

A natural Burgundy with the courage of conviction: Rougeot Père & Fils forgoes any added sulphur in this Chardonnay – a decision that demands the highest standards of cellar work and reveals the wine in its purest, unadulterated form. The impressive double magnum format moreover promises an extraordinary ageing potential and stands as a statement for shared enjoyment at the grand table.

Terroir & Origin

The Côte d’Or – the golden heart of Burgundy – is one of the world’s most significant wine regions. Limestone soils, precisely positioned hillside vineyards and a continental climate with Atlantic influences have shaped the character of Chardonnay here for centuries. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was marked by exceptional warmth and early ripeness, producing wines of remarkable richness and – in the finest hands – astonishing freshness.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Chardonnay in its Burgundian homeland: The Bourgogne Côte d’Or appellation frames this wine within a clear geographical commitment. The designation „Sans Sulfite Ajouté“ points to a minimalist, artisanal vinification approach in which sulphur additions are eschewed – an approach that makes natural yeasts, careful hand-harvesting and meticulous cellar hygiene fundamental prerequisites. The result is a wine that allows the terroir to speak unfiltered.

Food Pairing Suggestions

The versatility of a well-made Côte d’Or Chardonnay predestines this wine for classic Burgundian cuisine: Poulet de Bresse à la crème, Quenelles de brochet or an elegant lobster with beurre blanc would be worthy companions. It also harmonises beautifully with aged Comté, scallops or a refined risotto variation with white truffle. The double magnum invites sharing – a wine for special moments and grand gatherings.
