Wine Description for Bourgogne Côte d’Or „Les Grandes Gouttes“ Sans Sulfite Ajouté AOC 2022 1500ml Magnum by Rougeot Père & Fils

Character

An authentic Bourgogne Côte d’Or from the house of Rougeot Père & Fils, which offers a particularly purist interpretation of Burgundian Chardonnay through its bold decision to forgo added sulphites. The magnum bottle promises an even slower, more harmonious development. The 2022 vintage produced concentrated, fresh wines with vibrant acidity following a challenging summer.

Terroir & Origin

The Côte d’Or – the „golden hillside“ – forms the heart of Burgundy and unites the celebrated vineyard sites between Dijon and Santenay. This regional appellation allows the winemaker to blend grapes from various parcels of the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, thus creating an expression of the entire Côte d’Or. The chalky soils and continental climate with cool nights define the classic Burgundian style with finesse and minerality.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Chardonnay finds its purest expression in Burgundy – nowhere else is this grape variety vinified with such precision. The absence of added sulphites (Sans Sulfite Ajouté) demands the utmost care in both vineyard and cellar: impeccably healthy fruit, strict hygiene and often spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts. The result is a wine of unvarnished authenticity, presenting fruit and terroir without filtration. The Rougeot family stands for traditional Burgundian wines with respect for terroir and artisanal precision.

Food Pairing Suggestions

A versatile companion to roasted monkfish, scallops or lobster in butter. In classic Burgundian fashion, it harmonises beautifully with Poulet de Bresse, veal escalope in cream sauce or Comté and other aged hard cheeses. The vibrant freshness also makes it an ideal match for goat’s cheese or mushroom dishes.
