Domaine Rougeot has a long history of making superb white wines from the famed village of Meursault. “Les Toisières” is located just over the road from Meursault and the 1er Cru “La Taupine” (which produces a Pinot Noir). It is an ideal location and the vineyard faces south, allowing for optimal ripening conditions.
Fruit is handpicked, direct pressed, and cold settled over two days. Fermentation begins spontaneously with native yeasts, followed by malolactic fermentation in the barrel. The wine is racked into steel tanks for blending and rests for one to two months before filtration and bottling.
On the nose it displays complex flavours of melon, apple and fresh young hazelnuts. The palate is elegant yet powerful, showcasing the crunchy fresh apples and white stone fruit followed by a saline profile and toasted hazelnut edge. It’s drinking deliciously now with 35 minute decant before serving, and will age till 2025+
