Tasting note


Character
A Meursault of quiet tones – crafted with precision, with the courage to embrace restraint. The decision to forgo sulphur additions entirely is no fashionable statement here, but rather an expression of consistent philosophy: to influence the wine as little as possible and let the terroir speak unadulterated. This demands impeccable fruit, meticulous cellar work and profound trust in the place itself.
Terroir & Origin
The vineyard site “Sous la Velle” lies in the heart of Meursault, one of the most renowned white wine villages of the Côte de Beaune. The vintage 2021 was marked in Burgundy by a cool, damp spring with considerable frost damage – harvest yields fell dramatically low. Vignerons who tended their vineyards with care were rewarded with grapes of extraordinary aromatic precision and vibrant acidity. A vintage that demands patience, yet holds great potential.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Chardonnay from Meursault is naturally creamy, complex and characterised by a distinctive nutty depth that scarcely any other appellation in the world expresses so authentically. Complete avoidance of added sulphur places the highest demands on hygiene and cellar technique. Rougeot Père & Fils pursue an approach that unites craftsmanship and closeness to nature – with the aim of creating a wine that lives, breathes and unfolds in the glass. At 13.0 % Vol. alcohol, the wine remains lean and well-balanced.
Food Pairing Suggestions
This Meursault calls for partners that respect its finesse: grilled turbot with brown butter, scallops with pea purée or a classic Poulet de Bresse à la crème. A mature Comté or a mild Époisses would equally be worthy companions – dishes that reflect the Burgundian culinary tradition from which this wine itself originates.
