Story
Pierre-Henri Rougeot
Meursault · Burgundy · France
Located in the heart of Meursault, Domaine Rougeot has been producing exceptional low-sulphur, minimal intervention wines under the guidance of Pierre-Henri Rougeot since 2010. The historic 18th-century stone cellar, originally built for the Hospices de Beaune, was acquired by Pierre-Henri’s great-great-grandfather in the 19th century. This cellar now houses wines from 13 hectares of organically farmed vineyards in and around Meursault. Pierre-Henri’s extensive travels in France have shaped his unique approach, blending Burgundian tradition with influences from natural winemaking regions like Saumur and Cahors. His vinification process uses minimal sulphur, adding small amounts only when necessary.The domaine’s vineyards, predominantly planted by Pierre-Henri’s grandfather in the late 1950s and partially replanted by his father in the early 1980s, produce single-vineyard wines that capture the essence of their terroir.
“Since 2010, Domaine Rougeot has practised organic farming and began the certification process in 2018.”
Domaine Rougeot’s wines are known for their energy, precision, and exceptional quality, maintaining a low profile despite their remarkable appeal. Each bottle reflects Pierre-Henri’s commitment to organic practices and minimal intervention, ensuring the wines’ natural expression and balance.
