Pierre-Henri Rougeot - Corton Grand Cru 2022

Pierre-Henri Rougeot is a young vigneron with generations of family roots in the town of Meursault. He grew up learning farming and the craft of winemaking with his father, and by studying in Beaune. In 2017, he decided to add one more activity, a small negoce where he could make wines his way. The fruit comes from his family Estate, vineyards which are farmed organically. The production is miniscule. Pierre-Henri makes his wines with little intervention, meaning No SO2 until bottling and no fining and no filtration. The reds are macerated with whole clusters, and age in neural barrels; the whites are pressed directly to barrels, with no battonage and aging sur lees. 

From a single but unspecified vineyard. Deep rich purple. 100% whole bunch vinification has given a slight vegetal note, as well as fine dark raspberry flavours. Totally satisfying in the mouth, in its stemmy style, flowing right across the palate, dark raspberry and brambles, no heat, balanced tannins, and very good length. Drink from 2029-2035. 92-95 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.
