"A delight!"
Planted in a limestone clos with white marl, the Chardonnay reveals a typical floral nose. On the palate, there's a fresh, chalky minerality, with the fullness and structure of barrel ageing. A very fine white!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 90/100 (Vintage 2020)
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Although Rodolphe Demougeot has been based in Meursault since 1998, since 1992 he has been developing an estate whose 7.8-hectare heartland consists mainly of a fine representation of the Pommard and Savigny-lès-Beaune crus. The red wines, made from meticulously sorted grapes, destemmed or not, vinified in concrete vats, have an energy that makes them drinkable from a young age in a gourmet style, very well suited to the restaurant trade and to those who like to drink their wines young. As for the whites, they offer uprightness and verticality.

About the domain :
Rodolphe Demougeot founded his domaine in 1992. His red wines are energetic and dense, and age very well. Today, they are harmonious, freed from the hard finishes that marked past vintages.
