The domain's approach consists of an unconditional love of the Burgundian terroir. With this singular dedication comes an exceptional level of care, given to each process, to each stage of the creation of wines in the domain.
This vision, enriched by the experience of four generations, has given the Rousseau family an understanding of the intricacies of each of their terroirs, parcels, and vines.

We chose to begin picking on the 12th of September and brought in very ripe yet balanced fruit as there were good acidity thanks to the relatively cool nights. The berries were relatively tiny with thick skins and potential alcohols ranged from 13.2 to a high of 14.5%. We vinified softly as we always do and there were no problems with the primary fermentations though some of the malos were slow to finish. As to the wines, I personally adore the 2019s for their freshness, verve, and transparency. They're balanced and so refreshing that they're already irresistible. I wouldn't necessarily call them better than our 2018s, but they are certainly different styles and I prefer the 2019s, at least for now."
