Producer
Pierre-Henri Rougeot has been quietly producing impeccable, minimal intervention, low-sulphur wines since he returned to the family Domaine in 2010. Wines are produced in the villages of Meursault, Monthelie, St Romain, Pommard and Volnay. The 18th Century stone cellar was originally built for the Hospices de Beaune to press the fruit from the adjacent orchards, and was purchased by Pierre-Henri’s great-great-grandfather in the 19th century.
