The Story
Domaine Rougeot’s Meursault Sous la Velle 2023 is a generous yet finely detailed expression of this lower-slope Meursault site, where richer soils bring natural breadth and early appeal. The nose opens with white peach, fresh pear and almond, layered with white flowers and a subtle buttery, nutty complexity.
The palate is round and supple, showing ripe orchard fruit and gentle exotic lift, supported by a soft, creamy texture rather than high acidity. Oak is discreet, adding shape and subtle weight without dominating the fruit. The result is a Meursault that feels open and expressive in youth, with a long, rounded finish.
Approachable now yet capable of short-term cellaring, it pairs beautifully with roast poultry, lobster, creamy seafood dishes or rich terrines.
