Domaine Rougeot - Bourgogne Passetoutgrain 'Vercherres" 2020 NATURE

This Bourgogne Passetoutgrain is fruity with hints of spices.

There is nothing more delicious than the Bourgogne Passetoutgrain. The vineyard is co-planted with Gamay (1/3) and Pinot Noir (2/3) in Meursault, on the Volnay side. The vineyard is strictly managed to yield fewer grapes of stunning concentration. Every steps of the way are identical to the premier cru made at this Domaine. The nose is blooming with notes of fresh cherry, five spices, strawberry and a hint of rose petal. The palate has a round attack, lively cherry coming through with silky, firm tannins with a clean and delicate finish. It can be paired with Charcuterie, roast pork, lamb and cow cheeses. Drink now.

Just 9 months elevage. Rich purple, totally explosive fruit on the nose, succulent seductive, like the Aligoté one to fall in love with, though muscular rather than ethereal. None of the discordant acidity you sometimes find from the gamay which makes up 40% of the blend. Lightly peppery finish. Jasper Morris.

1/3 Gamay, 2/3 Pinot Noir.
