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.
Introducing Pierre-Henri Rougeot's boutique production from organic vineyards in Volnay, Meursault, Pommard and Gevrey.
After graduating, Pierre-Henri spent a year working in the vineyards of Domaine de Montille.
Later, he sold oak barrels to some of the most respected names in the industry, including Philippe Alliet in Chinon, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in Burgundy, and Jean-François Ganevat in Jura.
This experience provided him with valuable insights into how different styles of oak impact great wines.
With his family deeply rooted in the heart of Meursault, Pierre-Henri quietly began producing impeccable wines with minimal intervention and minimal sulfur when he returned to the family Domaine in 2010.
They embarked on their journey towards organic certification in 2012 and achieved full organic status in 2017, with the first certified vintage set to be released in 2020.
In 2017, Pierre-Henri initiated a micro-négociant project called "Pierre-Henri Rougeot," sourcing grapes from the family Domaine and his friends.
Since then, he has continuously improved year after year.
His white wines are truly exceptional, while his reds possess a captivating allure.
Drawing on his experience in selling oak barrels, Pierre-Henri has deliberately chosen to minimize the impact of the barrel style on the wine, allowing the terroir to take center stage.
The result is a collection of terroir-focused wines that beautifully express the unique characteristics of their origin.
