Domaine Rougeot has a long history of making superb white wines from the famed village of Meursault. Their "Les Plumes" vineyard is located in Meursault, east of the famous RN74 where one finds richer soils of predominantly clay and small limestone rocks.
This is a wine full of energy; bright with notes of citrus, white flowers, oyster shell and fresh nuts on the nose. The palate has a round attack but plenty of lively aromas of lemon peel, dry extracts, light orange peel and a clean-cut finish. There is a lovely dry, fresh palate to the otherwise textural weight. It will benefit from being decanted for 15 minutes and it can be cellared up until 2022 or beyond. It goes well with seafood, oysters, white fish, scallops and also mild charcuterie.
The Rougeot family has produced wine for five generations on appellations including Meursault-Charmes, Meursault Sous la Velle, Meursault Monatine, Volnay-Santenots, Pommard, Monthélie, and Saint-Romain. Producer and owner Marc Rougeot, now alongside his son Pierre-Henri, continue the family tradition with a mixture of modern, organic and traditional processes.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
