Bourgogne Passetoutgrain “Les Vercherres” Sans Sulfite Ajouté AOC 2024

Wine Description for Bourgogne Passetoutgrain “Les Vercherres” Sans Sulfite Ajouté AOC 2024 by Rougeot Père & Fils

Character

An unmasked red wine driven by vibrant energy, boasting crystalline clarity and an invigorating freshness. The moderate alcohol level of 12.0% ABV lends it an eminently drinkable, purist profile that relies entirely on transparency and unadulterated fruit.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes hail from the “Les Vercherres” vineyard site in the heart of the Côte de Beaune. Ever since Pierre-Henri Rougeot took over his father’s domaine in Meursault in 2016 and shifted the focus away from volume, terroir has taken centre stage. The soils of the region form the foundation for this classic Burgundian blend style, uniting tradition with ecological awareness.

Grape Variety & Vinification

This traditional assemblage of Pinot Noir and Gamay reflects the winemaker’s uncompromising philosophy. Crafted in historic 18th-century cellars, this wine is produced in the spirit of minimal intervention. Matured completely without the addition of sulphur – visually highlighted by the diagonally striped label –, the chalk-driven minerality and honest structure of both grape varieties remain genuinely unadulterated.

Food Pairings

This juicy, approachable red wine pairs brilliantly with a cold platter of air-dried salami and crusty bread, a classic Charolais beef terrine, or served slightly chilled alongside pan-roasted breast of quail.
