Domaine de la Vougeraie was founded in 1998 when the domaines of Claudine Deschamps, Pierre Ponnelle, Louis Voilland and L’Heritier-Guyot were merged. The man behind the venture was Jean-Claude Boisset, whose own considerable holdings meant that Domaine de la Vougeraie became a significant player in the Cote d’Or, with 37 hectares of prime vineyard including seven grand crus to their name.
A family estate uniting a collection of the most prestigious, historical vineyards in Burgundy, the winery strictly adheres to organic and Biodynamic farming in order to achieve a balance between the earth, the plant and humanity, with the goal of drawing the best from the terroir.
This was bottled in July 2022 and there is still a trace of post-bottling reduction so be sure to give it some air if you’re going to open a bottle upon release. More interesting are the nicely voluminous flavors that possess good richness as well as a seductive texture on the solidly complex and persistent finale. This clearly benefits from the presence of declassified juice and is worth checking out.'
