It's no secret that we think Pierre-Henri Rougeot is one of the most talented vignerons in Burgundy's newest guard.

One of our best evenings last year was spent hosting him for a master class and learning more about his work—both at his family’s biodynamically farmed domaine and in a tiny cellar in Beaune, where he produces wines under his own name.

These are his most personal wines, a powerful style that deftly flexes between luxurious and soil-driven. He favors whole cluster on the reds, and everything sees two winters in barrel. Across the whites, there is no bâtonnage (he notes, the wines are rich enough), and no sulfur during winemaking.

Much of the fruit comes from the family holdings, but he sources additional sites from friends (like trading his Meursault for Antoine Lienhardt's Les Plantes aux Bois).

The full release of '23s lands later this week, so we're digging in cuvée by cuvée (including four new ⭐ bottlings):

2023 Pierre-Henri Rougeot Beaune 'Les Longbois' Cote de Beaune $100
This is P-H's second vintage making wine from this site, the highest plot in Beaune, very steep with 35 year old certified biodynamic vines. Pinot Noir fermented 100% whole cluster with 10 days maceration, aged 18 months in used oak. A very gently treated, plush and fresh Pinot.

2023 Pierre-Henri Rougeot 'Les Plantes du Bois' Cote de Nuits-Villages $100
60+ year old biodynamic Pinot Noir from Antoine Lienhardt's (perhaps, cultiest?) limestone-packed, estate lieu-dit in Comblanchien. Fermented with 60% whole clusters and macerated 10 days, aged 18 months in used barrique. Layered, beautifully structured and honestly a must-drink if you're already a fan of Lienhardt's seminal bottling.

⭐ 2023 Pierre-Henri Rougeot Nuits-Saint-Georges 'Les Longecourts', Cote de Nuits $135
P-H's first (and likely, only) vintage bottling this organic site in Nuits-Saint-Georges, fermented with 100% whole clusters and 10 days of maceration; aged 18 months with 25% new barrique.

2023 Pierre-Henri Rougeot Pommard 'La Rue au Port', Cote de Beaune $150
From his family estate fruit, a tiny and narrow clos in Pommard with 60 year old Demeter-certified biodynamic vines. Fermented with 100% whole clusters and 10 days of maceration, aged 18 months in oak with 33% new barrels. Savory!

⭐ 2023 Pierre-Henri Rougeot Meursault, Cote de Beaune $155
P-H's first vintage bottling a Meursault villages, from Demeter-certified biodynamic vines. Directly pressed and fermented with full malo, aged for 20 months with no bâtonnage in two 3-year-old barrels. Touch of sulfur at bottling.

⭐ 2023 Pierre-Henri Rougeot Les Champlots, Saint-Aubin Premier Cru $155
P-H's first vintage bottling this Saint-Aubin site, from 55 year old vines farmed organically. Directly pressed and fermented with full malo, aged for 20 months with no bâtonnage in a mix of barrels, 20% new. Touch of sulfur at bottling.

2023 Pierre-Henri Rougeot Meursault Sous la Velle, Cote de Beaune $160
From 50 year old biodynamic vines in Meursault's iconic Sous la Velle vineyard, directly pressed and settled for a full day, fermented with full malo. Aged 20 months with no bâtonnage in a mix of barrels, 25% new; just a touch of sulfur at bottling. This site was one of the first that he converted to biodynamic farming.

⭐ 2023 Pierre-Henri Rougeot Aux Etelois, Cote de Nuits $165
P-H's first vintage working with this site in Gevrey-Chambertin, which was famously also bottled by William Kelley. 55 year old organic vines fermented with 100% whole clusters and 10 days maceration, aged 18 months in a mix of barrique (33% new).

2023 Pierre-Henri Rougeot Corton Grand Cru, Cote de Beaune $350
55 year old organic Pinot Noir from the lieu-dit 'Les Paulands' in Corton Grand Cru; fermented with 100% whole clusters and 10 days maceration, aged 18 months in 50% new barrique. Just two barrels produced. An earthy, structured, truly expressive bottle to remember.

2023 Pierre-Henri Rougeot Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Cote de Beaune $540
P-H's second vintage bottling wine from the En Charlemagne vineyard in Pernand-Vergelesses, with 40 year old organically farmed vines. Directly pressed and fermented with full malo, aged 20 months with no bâtonnage in a single new barrel. Just a touch of sulfur at bottling.
