Description:
Domaine Rougeot is a family-owned estate based in Meursault, known for its commitment to organic and biodynamic winemaking. The Volnay-Santenots Premier Cru 2021 is produced from the esteemed Santenots vineyard, a site situated in Meursault but recognized for its exceptional red wines under the Volnay appellation.
Wine Description
The 2021 vintage offers a vibrant ruby color and an aromatic bouquet of red cherries, raspberries, and strawberries, interwoven with floral hints of violets and subtle spices. On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied with refined, silky tannins, showcasing bright red fruit flavors balanced by refreshing acidity. A mineral undertone adds depth, leading to a long and elegant finish with whispers of clove and cinnamon.
Vinification and Aging
The grapes for this wine are hand-harvested and undergo whole-cluster fermentation for up to 18 days, with daily punchdowns to enhance extraction. Fermentation occurs naturally without added yeast, followed by malolactic fermentation in oak barrels. The wine is then aged for 18 months in oak, 35% of which are new, enhancing its complexity and structure.
Food Pairing
This Premier Cru pairs beautifully with dishes such as roasted duck, lamb chops with herbs, or wild mushroom risotto. It also complements soft cheeses like Époisses or aged Brie, elevating its elegant profile.
