Domain Rouget Bourgogne Rouge 1998 Bouteille (75cl)
Domaine Rouget Bourgogne Rouge 1998 is a red Burgundy wine crafted by Domaine Rouget. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, it expresses the identity of a Burgundian cuvée from the late 1990s. For its Bourgogne Rouge, the estate typically employs a one-year barrel aging, a practice documented for this cuvée. This mature vintage warrants conservation and a service suited to the condition of each individual bottle.

Histoire du domaine
Originally trained as a tractor mechanic, Emmanuel Rouget joined Henri Jayer, to whom he is related, in 1976. He then worked in the latter’s vineyards and gradually learnt how to manage the vineyard and the winemaking process. At the same time, he worked as a sharecropper on family vineyards, notably in Échezeaux and Vosne-Romanée. In the mid-1980s, he set up his own estate and winery in Flagey-Échezeaux, and began marketing wines under his own name. From 1996 onwards, Henri Jayer gradually transferred his vineyards to him. When Henri Jayer retired in 2001, all of these vineyards, including the Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux Premier Cru, came under the control of Emmanuel Rouget. Nicolas Rouget officially joined the estate in 2008 and took charge of vineyard management. Guillaume Rouget, who trained in viticulture in Beaune, has been responsible for the cellar and winemaking since 2011.
