Vintage Character Domaine Pierre-Henri Rougeot Beaune “Les Longbois” 2022 is a single-vineyard Pinot Noir from the slopes above Beaune, offering a finely etched and aromatic expression of the Côte de Beaune. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was generally regarded as very good, thanks to a warm, mostly dry growing season that delivered healthy, ripe fruit while preserving enough freshness to produce reds that are both vibrant and approachable.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Perfumed notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry and cranberry mingle with violet, subtle redcurrant, gentle spice and a whisper of smoke on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy yet precise red fruit, medium-high acidity and finely woven, silky tannins that give shape without weight, leading to a graceful, mineral-tinged finish with hints of fresh earth and delicate clove. This elegant Beaune is an excellent match for roast chicken with herbs, duck breast with cherries, or mushroom risotto, and it also pairs beautifully with a soft, bloomy-rind cheese like Brie or Chaource. Crafted by a historic Meursault family estate, this wine underlines its boutique, artisanal character through small-scale production and careful attention to detail in both vineyard and cellar.
Winery Background Based in Meursault, Domaine Rougeot has been in the same family for several generations, and under Pierre-Henri Rougeot the focus has sharpened on organic vineyard work and a low-intervention mindset that seeks purity and transparency of terroir rather than winemaking artifice. Trained in Burgundy and abroad, he has become known for a thoughtful approach in the cellar, favoring native yeast fermentations, gentle extraction, a considered use of whole clusters and restrained oak so that each site, including the Beaune lieu-dit Les Longbois, can speak clearly and with energy. The labels remain classic and understated, reflecting a Burgundian philosophy that puts vineyard origin at the forefront and emphasizes drinkability, precision and a strong sense of place in every bottle.
