Domaine Emmanuel Rouget was formed in 1985. Since then, it has attained almost mythical status among collectors worldwide. The history of the domaine will be forever tied to the iconic vigneron Henri Jayer, Emmanuel’s uncle. By the early 1980s, Henri had already become one of the most legendary winemakers in Burgundy, influencing a generation of young vignerons in Burgundy and around the world. In 1985 he took on his nephew Emmanuel Rouget as his protégé and began leasing some of his vines to him. Over the years, Jayer gave up more and more vines to his nephew. In 2001, following his retirement, all of his vines went under the control of Rouget, including the Georges Jayer vines. Since 2011 the control of the domaine has passed to Emmanuel’s two sons Nicolas who manages the vineyards and Guillaume the winery. The 2022 vintage, a year marked by ripe fruit and excellent balance, enhances the vineyard’s natural generosity - delivering a wine of depth, perfume, and glowing structure. This isn’t just a Grand Cru - it’s a Grand Cru from one of Burgundy’s most revered domaines, and a beautiful snapshot of both a warming vintage and a winemaker who always seeks purity and elegance above all.
