Vintage Character Domaine Pierre-Henri Rougeot Meursault "Sous la Velle" 2019 is a village Meursault from the lieu-dit Sous la Velle in the Côte de Beaune, made from Chardonnay grown on the lower slope just beneath the village. The 2019 vintage is widely regarded as strong in Burgundy: a warm, dry growing season produced healthy, concentrated fruit, while retaining enough freshness to keep Meursault’s natural breadth in balance. This site’s clay-limestone soils help give the wine its generous texture, while the Meursault origin brings the appellation’s signature combination of ripe orchard fruit, nutty depth, and mineral tension.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, it shows aromas of yellow apple, pear, citrus peel, white flowers, and a subtle touch of hazelnut and fresh pastry. The palate is layered and ample yet precise, with a satin-like texture, lively acidity, and a chalky, persistent finish that keeps the richness in check. It is a compelling expression of village Meursault, offering both immediacy and structure. Pair it with roast chicken with morels, seared scallops in brown butter, or lobster risotto.
Winery Background Domaine Pierre-Henri Rougeot is part of a long-established Meursault family estate, with Pierre-Henri representing the new generation focused on organic farming and low-intervention cellar work. The domaine is known for careful hand-harvesting, native-yeast fermentations, and a restrained use of oak intended to preserve site expression rather than mask it. Pierre-Henri has also become noted for sulfur-free bottlings in parts of the range, reflecting a philosophy centered on purity, energy, and transparency of terroir. That combination of Meursault heritage and contemporary sensitivity makes this an especially distinctive address for readers seeking artisanal white Burgundy.
