The 2020 Rougeot Bourgogne Les Grandes Gouttes (blanc) hails from a lieu-dit situated at the southern edge of Meursault, bordering Puligny, just a few hundred meters below the Premier Cru vineyard Les Charmes. This white Burgundy is crafted with organic practices and without added sulphites, reflecting a commitment to purity. It's often described as a "baby-Meursault" due to its classic clay-limestone soil influence. Expect a pale intensity, yellow lemon color, sometimes appearing as a clear deep golden. The nose offers flinty stone minerality, citrus lime, ripe pear, pineapple, and cream, with hints of honeyed almond nut emerging with air. On the palate, it's dry with lovely high acidity and a medium body, showcasing flavors of citrus lemon-lime, green apple, pear, and flinty minerality. Some notes include well-integrated oak, butter, vanilla, hazelnut, and tropical fruit. This wine has good acid tension and fruit, and while drinking well now, it is expected to flesh out further with another 2-3 years of aging. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This versatile white Burgundy pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, shellfish, pasta, rich fish like salmon or tuna, mild and soft cheeses, cured meats, and roast white meats. 🥂 Event suggestions: Perfect for an aperitif, this wine is described as "dressed to impress" and capable of "flexing with food," making it suitable for a variety of gatherings, from casual dinners to more formal occasions. 【 Organic and without added sulphites, often described as a "baby-Meursault" 】
