2023 Domaine Emmanuel Rouget Bourgogne Haute Côte de Beaune Blanc, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

The 2023 Domaine Emmanuel Rouget Bourgogne Hautes‑Côtes de Beaune Blanc is a refined Chardonnay from the elevated slopes of the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, offering an elegant and mineral-driven expression of Burgundy terroir. Crafted by Domaine Emmanuel Rouget, a prestigious estate based in Flagey‑Échezeaux, the wine is vinified with native yeasts and carefully aged to respect the purity of fruit and minerality. This 2023 vintage is a stellar example of Rouget’s more accessible white offering—sophisticated and restrained, yet expressive, ideal with seafood, creamy white meats, mild cheeses, or even as an aperitif.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Domaine Emmanuel Rouget has earned its reputation through generations of excellence. Though the domaine began formally in the 1980s, its lineage traces directly back to Henri Jayer, and now Emmanuel and his sons Nicolas (overseeing the vineyards) and Guillaume (in the cellar) carry forward that legacy with exacting standards of purity, precision, and longevity. Emmanuel Rouget, trained by his legendary uncle Henri Jayer, is renowned for his meticulous vineyard work—often horse‑tended—with very low yields and slow fermentation methods that channel exceptional finesse and depth.
