Domaine de la Vougeraie
About Domaine de la Vougeraie
Created as recently as 1999, Domaine de la Vougeraie has seen one of the most remarkable ascensions to prominence in the entire region. Jean-Claude Boisset (of the famous Boisset Group) took the seismic decision at the turn of the millennium to combine his unbelievable, yet disparate, Burgundian holdings from various négociant companies he had accrued over the years.
A monumentally successful decision, its title is derived from the significant holdings in Boisset’s home village of Vougeot. The winery itself is located not in Vougeot, but rather in Prémeaux - in the old Claudine Deschamps cellars. From this seat, general manager Sylvie Poillot coaxes and crafts sublime expressions of over 30 appellations totalling 40 hectares under vine.
Viniculture
These significant holdings, which include a stunning six Grands Crus, make Domaine de la Vougeraie one of the most important and influential producers in Burgundy – the gorgeous wines produced vintage after vintage make it one the best too. Boisset’s exceptional success, having founded his first eponymous négociant company at the age of 18, means no expense is spared in the viticultural or vinification process. Fully biodynamic practically from the instant it was formed as a Domaine, an entirely new suite of wooden fermentation vats and a state-of-the-art sorting table was added to the winery in Prémeaux.
The result has been some of the most critically acclaimed Burgundy of the past 20 years. The change in winemaker from Pascal Marchand to Pierre Vincent in 2005 has seen a more delicate and perhaps terroir-driven style from Vougeraie – Marchand preferred heavier extraction which resulted in powerful, but perhaps slightly blunted wines. In 2019, Sylvie Poillot has continued the winemaking philosophy of Vincent, crafting a range of wines with an inherent sense of place and judged to perfection in their construction.

Wine Advocate (94-96)The 2016 Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru has a very concentrated and intense bouquet with citrus fruit, wild mint, orange cordial and a hint of wild heather. The palate is fresh and tensile, very concentrated with a fine line of acidity, just a hint of blackcurrant leaf and curry leaf toward the finish. This is one of the best Chevalier-Montrachet’s out there, a beautifully crafted, succinct wine that should give two decades of drinking pleasure. |

Vinous (95)The 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru showed just a little reduction on the nose, displaying a faint cough candy scent along with yellow flowers and lemon thyme; an underlying steeliness emerges with continued aeration. The palate has a lime- and orange-peel-tinged entry, good weight and less reduction than the aromatics. It feels fresh and lightly spiced toward a citric, energetic, complex finish. This has a lot of potential and was easily the best showing from the estate at the Burgfest blind tasting. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from a 0.151-hectare parcel of vines. It has the best tension and terroir expression of Vougeraie’s white Grand Crus, featuring gunflint-tinged green apples. The palate is well balanced with quite a powerful, intense opening. Honeyed in texture, displaying notes of lemon curd and mango, it leans to the tropical side of things toward a finish that just denudes it of some of the tension promised by the aromatics. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2021 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is clean and precise on the nose, with fine mineralité in situ (more than the Bâtard-Montrachet) and touches of almond, hazelnut and lanolin. The palate is well-balanced and slightly honeyed in texture. It's powerful with good weight. Perhaps missing some tension towards the finish, but it delivers a fine, quite nutty aftertaste. Very fine. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2017 Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from two parcels, the vines planted around the 1950s. The bouquet is well defined with white peach, clementine and light crushed stone aromas that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is well balanced, with a silver thread of acidity, and quite mineral-driven toward the second half. A dash of lemongrass lends spiciness that lingers on the aftertaste. Delicious! |

Vinous (91-93)The 2018 Charlemagne Grand Cru comes from two parcels in Le Charlemagne, in Aloxe-Corton and En Charlemagne on the Pernand side, picked one week apart since the latter takes longer to ripen. It has an excellent bouquet of intense pressed flowers and chalk-infused citrus fruit. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, poised and pretty, revealing orange peel and touches of ginger toward the finish. Drink over the next 12–15 years. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-92)Located at the St-Aubin end of the vineyard. Glowing lemon and lime in colour, there is more weight and more tension than the village Puligny, but I don’t find it a lot more interesting. Ripe grapefruit and lemon notes, middleweight. Tasted: November 2021 |

Vinous (86-88)The 2017 Puligny-Montrachet Village comes from two lieux-dits. Like the Savigny-lès-Beaune Blanc, it has discreet flor-like aromas on the nose that I find distracting, and I hope they dissipate prior to bottling. The palate is balanced and rather tropical in style, displaying a fine bead of acidity and strong, honeyed passion fruit and mango notes toward the finish. Enjoyable, but not exactly the most Burgundy of whites you will taste this vintage. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2018 Vougeot Le Clos du Prieuré Blanc 1er Cru comes from a parcel near the Vouge River, which unfortunately leaves the vines vulnerable to hungry ducks. The bouquet is well defined with a little more mineral tension than the Beaune Blanc tasted alongside. The well-balanced palate offers passion fruit and pineapple notes and a fine bead of acidity; the prudent 20% new oak is just right. Excellent. |

Opening in the glass with a pretty bouquet of fresh green pear, peach, mandarin oil and petrol, framed by a discreet touch of nutty new oak, the wine is medium to full-bodied, racy and precise, with a delicate and elegantly tight-knit core of fruit and a long, precise finish. As readers may know, small percentages of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc complement Chardonnay in this cuvée. |
