Domaine Rougeot - Pere & Fils Bourgogne Passetoutgrain Les Vercherres Sans Sulfites 2022

Raise your hand if you've heard of Passetoutegrain? It's okay if you haven't since its a tiny appellation within Burgundy, but this wine should definitely be on your "wine to know" list. This Pinot Noir/Gamay blend is co-fermented with native yeast. It's got the right balance of juicy ripe dark fruit and hints of spice like clove and cardamom. With a blend like this it's great for most occasions and dishes!

70% Pinot Noir, 30% Gamay, from a single .2 ha parcel co-planted in the 50s and 80s, harvested together and co-fermented—all in the old style. The fruit is fermented 90% whole cluster, then moved into 600L neutral barrels for malolactic fermentation and élevage. One of the most vivid examples of Passetoutgrains we’ve seen in years, reminding us of a dead split between the perfume of Burgundy and the forest ruddiness of Beaujolais. Bottled with zero added SO2.
