Domaine Rougeot Père & Fils - Bourgogne Chardonnay Les Grandes Gouttes 2020

We call the “Les Grandes Gouttes” the super-regional wine. Located at the border of the Meursualt appellation, it takes a lot from its big brother from Meursault. It is the perfect everyday wine and it has been crafted with the same methods Marc Rougeot uses for the Meursault. By experience, this wine needs at least 15 minutes decanting before serving because it is always quite shy at first.

The “Les Grandes Gouttes” plot is located in the southern part of Meursault, next to Puligny-Montrachet. Whilst the vineyard did not qualify to be a village appellation, it makes a great regional appellation. The wine has a subtle nose of white acacia flowers, fresh almonds, and a hint of citrus zest. It is perfect to open when its young, in its first one to four years.
