Pierre-Henri Rougeot - Meursault "Le Limozin" 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.

One barrel made, a grape purchase or exchange. Fresh pale lemon. Much more chiselled than Sous la Velle. Some stony character despite coming from the lower slopes, still plenty of gas helping the freshness, but this has good acidity too. An attractive long finish. Drink from 2026-2029. 90-93 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.

 100% Chardonnay.
