It is impossible to evoke Emmanuel Rouget without mentioning his uncle Henri Jayer, one of the most emblematic winemakers of Burgundy. When he passed away, Emmanuel Rouget inherited the family domaine located in Flagey-Echezeux. Trained at his school, he perpetuates the unique know-how of one of the masters of Pinot Noir especially on the mythical Cros Parantoux. Emmanuel Rouget has now made a name for himself thanks to his meticulousness both in the vineyard and the cellar. Yields are very low. Aging is skilfully done to keep the wines fresh. The grape harvest is 100% destemmed in the pure tradition of the domaine and fermentation is slow and carried out in line with the pre-fermentation maceration invented by Jayer. Emmanuel Rouget’s wines are always silky, fresh and energetic. Mythical wines that a lover of great Burgundy wines must taste at least once in life.

To create this cuvée, the domain carried out an élevage in barrels to let the Chardonnay express the delicate nature of its fruity notes and all the purity of its mineral terroir. Thus, tasting reveals a fine wine marked by citrus, flint and white fruit notes. The palate turns out to be buttery, letting the minerality come through. Tonic and mellow, this Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune is a lovely gastronomic wine which firmly establishes the talent of its creator.
