ROUGET EMMANUEL

Emmanuel Rouget is none other than the nephew of the famous Henri Jayer, an icon among Burgundy winegrowers. After working on Cros Parantoux as a tenant farmer, he soon became the owner. Henri Jayer transformed this wasteland into an iconic Premier Cru. Emmanuel Rouget learned everything about winegrowing from his uncle. This experience makes him as much an heir to his land as to his philosophy and reputation in Burgundy. Today, he works at Domaine Emmanuel Rouget in the commune of Flagey-Échezeaux.
