The 2022 Pierre-Henri Rougeot Meursault Le Limozin is a white wine from the Meursault appellation in Burgundy, France, crafted from Chardonnay grapes. Produced by Pierre-Henri Rougeot, a young vigneron with deep family roots in Meursault, this wine comes from the Le Limozin terroir, which sits on clay-limestone soils near classified Meursault climats. It undergoes fermentation with indigenous yeasts and is aged for two years in Burgundian oak barrels, with a moderate proportion of new oak, resulting in a wine known for its complexity and finesse. Rougeot’s approach emphasizes minimal intervention, organic and biodynamic farming, and no added sulfites during vinification to preserve the terroir’s expression.
Rougeot’s Meursault wines, like his Sous la Velle, are often praised for their freshness, complexity, and hedonistic qualities, with descriptors like “rich,” “silky,” and “opulent” for similar cuvées. Le Limozin is likely to exhibit similar traits, balancing vibrant fruit with minerality and subtle oak influence.
