WINEMAKER: Marc & Pierre-Henri Rougeot
REGION: Burgundy, FR

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.
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.
