The legendary flagship of Burgundy viticulture, Domaine Rousseau’s worldwide reputation is matched only by the magic of the wines it produces.

The fourth generation at the helm of this emblematic estate, Cyrielle Rousseau brilliantly continues the work begun by her forebears. Passing on her passion for the vines and a job well done is a core value here, as each generation passes on to the next. Armed with strong convictions and unfailing enthusiasm, Cyrielle transcends Pinot Noir and reveals the typicity of her Burgundian terroirs with precision and emotion. Pampered, the vines receive the utmost attention, and the estate’s philosophy of simplicity and attentiveness to the terroirs gives the wines their soulful grandeur. Combining finesse, density and spicy notes, each cuvée is blazing with authenticity.
