Domaine Rougeot is a family-run, traditional estate in Meursault, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. Today it is run by Marc Rougeot, alongside his son Pierre-Henri; together they farm 13 hectares of vineyards in the villages of Meursault, Monthélie, Saint-Romain, Pommard and Volnay.

The combined work in the vineyard and cellar is aimed at the fullest expression of the terroir: the domaine has been certified organic since the 2020 vintage and has been in conversion to Demeter biodynamics since the 2021 vintage. Ever gentler, more meticulous vinification gives the wines increasing precision and character.

Pinot Noir, harvested in crates and hand-selected, goes into tank as whole clusters, without destemming, and ferments with the cellar’s native yeasts and without added sulfites; each terroir is vinified separately to create parcel-based cuvées. Chardonnay and Aligoté are pressed and the must, after a cold settling, ferments directly in barrel on its finest lees. Aging takes place in 228-liter Burgundy barrels for 12-20 months, with no racking or bâtonnage.

The range spans from Bourgogne Aligoté Les Plumes, from a 45-year-old vineyard in Meursault, to single-parcel Bourgognes such as Les Grandes Gouttes and Les Vaux, up to Monthélie Les Toisières, Saint-Romain La Combe Bazin, Meursault Sous la Velle, Meursault-Charmes, Pommard Clos des Roses and Volnay-Santenots.

Family tradition, organic farming and respectful winemaking make Domaine Rougeot a truly authentic interpreter of the great terroirs of Meursault and the Côte de Beaune.
