Domaine Rougeot's Meursault Sous la Velle showcases the exceptional terroir of Burgundy's Côte d'Or through this elegant Chardonnay expression. Sourced from a single parcel positioned just below the village of Meursault, this wine represents the harmonious marriage of traditional Burgundian winemaking with modern organic farming practices. Under Pierre-Henri Rougeot's guidance since 2010, the estate has embraced natural, hands-off cellar techniques that allow the vineyard's unique character to shine through in each bottle.

Composition: 100% Chardonnay from organically farmed vineyards in Meursault, Burgundy
