Domaine Rougeot Meursault Sous La Velle 2020

Domaine Rougeot Meursault Sous La Velle 2020

Producer and owner Marc Rougeot, now alongside his sons Pierre-Henri and Alexandre, energetically continue the family tradition with a mixture of modern, organic and traditional processes that get the best out of every vintage. The Domaine is going to be fully certified organic farming in 2018. In recent times, the Domaine has significantly developed the quality of their reds and as a result they have reached new heights. They are defined by elegance, silkiness and stunning subtle fruit. The whites at Domaine Rougeot are refined, generous and seductive. They celebrate the famed qualities of the region; evoking the tastes of the beautiful Côte de Beaune.

The domaine has 2.2ha of which 1.5ha is an excellent millerand selection and the rest more productive, not ripening so well but important for the balance of the cuvee. Pierre-Henri sells off what he doesn't need of the later, but the proportion will vary according to the year. First to be picked. Quite a full yellow but the bouquet has maintained freshness. This has greater persistence than the Bourgogne Grandes Goulettes but is otherwise not that much superior. 93 - 95 points Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy
