Bourgogne Pinot Noir

The authentic expression of Burgundy Pinot Noir

The Bourgogne Pinot Noir by Virely Rougeot is the perfect introduction to the refined world of Burgundy reds. The grapes come from carefully selected plots across Pommard, Beaune and Meursault, ensuring a perfect balance of freshness, fruit and typicity. This wine embodies the family’s philosophy: highlighting the terroir, respecting the vine and delivering the pure varietal soul of Pinot Noir in every glass. Each sip tells a story of elegance and accessibility, without sacrificing depth.

In the vineyard: selection and respect

The vineyards dedicated to Bourgogne Pinot Noir grow on clay-limestone soils that lend the wine its vibrant acidity and delicate aromatic profile. Vineyard work follows traditional practices with minimal intervention and a strong focus on soil vitality. Harvesting is done by hand at full phenolic ripeness, ensuring healthy grapes rich in aroma. The approach aims to preserve the authenticity of each plot, respecting the unique character of every vintage.

In the cellar: freshness and drinkability

The Bourgogne Pinot Noir is vinified to maintain the freshness of the fruit. Fermentation is natural, with moderate maceration and gentle punch-downs to extract only fine tannins. Ageing takes place partly in stainless steel and partly in second-use French oak barrels, enhancing freshness and drinkability. Colour: bright, transparent ruby red. Nose: fresh cherry, wild strawberry, subtle spicy notes. Palate: juicy and smooth, fine tannins and lively acidity that invite another sip.

Domaine Virely Rougeot

A family tradition rooted in the heart of Burgundy

Domaine Virely Rougeot is a family-run estate proudly cultivating nine hectares of vineyards spread across Pommard, Beaune and Meursault. Here, the vineyard is not just work but a true legacy handed down through generations, starting with Monsieur Louis Virely who, at the beginning of the last century, took over his in-laws’ estate and, in 1926, bought the prestigious Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Arvelets, the jewel of the Domaine. The family’s expansion continued with Bernard, Louis’s son, who by marrying a winemaker from Meursault enriched the estate’s appellations. Today, Patrick and his wife carry this heritage forward with the same dedication, keeping the Burgundian tradition alive.

Philosophy in the vineyard: respect and precision

The care of the vineyard is the beating heart of Virely Rougeot. They work according to the principles of traditional Burgundian viticulture, with targeted interventions, meticulous attention to detail and a profound respect for the terroir. The vines are cultivated using sustainable methods to preserve biodiversity and ensure healthy, balanced harvests. The grape selection is strict, the result of precise pruning, low yields and hand-picking to gather only the best clusters.

In the cellar: tradition and character

In the cellar, each vinification reflects the unique identity of each plot. Virely Rougeot vinifies its grapes in full respect of Burgundian practices: spontaneous fermentations, ageing in carefully selected oak barrels and measured use of new wood to preserve the elegance of the fruit. The wines rest as long as needed to express the purity and complexity that have made this historic estate renowned. The result is a collection of labels that tell the story of the most authentic Burgundy, combining depth, finesse and balance.
