Domaine Emmanuel Rouget began in 1985, which by Burgundy’s standards is quite recent; but in that time it has attained almost mythical status among collectors worldwide. Located in Flagey‐Echezeaux, the domaine’s holdings lie predominantly in the appellation of Vosne‐Romanée, Vosne‐Romanée 1er Cru, and Echezeaux Grand Cru. There are holdings in Côtes de Nuits‐Villages, Savigny‐Les-Beaune, and Nuits‐St‐Georges as well.
This blend of pinot noir and gamay is aged in 50% new oak with the balance being 1 year old. All the grapes at Emmanuel Rouget are destemmed and enjoy cold soak maceration before fermentation in concrete vats.
