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. |

Wine & Spirit Magazine (95)Vougeraie owns close to 2.5 acres of vines in Clos de Vougeot, in the northwest sector of the vineyard, including several blocks planted in the late 1940s and early ?50s. Farmed under biodynamics since 2001, the vines produce a true grand cru wine, the 2010 seductive and monastically severe at once. Its scent is awesome: the perfume of the earth after a rain, the essence of cherries and pressed flowers. The flavor is dense, a youthfully blank slate that fills with the interplay of sun and earth as the complexity develops for minutes after each taste. Check on this with ten years of bottle age; it?s destined for greatness. |

Tim Atkin MW (96)Made from two parcels within the Grand Cru (with the classic mix of high and low situations), this is picked on two different dates. Whatever the reason (and great winemaking hsas something to do with it, too) it's often one of my favourite Clos de Vougeots. Slghtly reductive, but this is fine, succulent and nuanced. |

Vinous (91+)Good medium red. Musky, slightly rustic nose shows more red than black fruits, with complicating notes of underbrush, herbs and pepper. Very rich, tactile, dry and backward, showing more minerality and medicinal reserve than primary berry or cherry fruit in the early going. Tough going today in spite of its depth of texture and richness. Not at all a sweet style. Vincent told me he prefers the easier sweetness of the 2014, noting that, in general, he regards the 2010 vintage as the best compromise between sweetness and energy since he took over winemaking here in 2006. |

The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, sour cherry and strawberry with a fine line of acidity threaded through from start to finish, lending focus and harmony. Still a baby, give this 2-3 more years before broaching. Tasted September 2017. |

Wine Advocate (93)Offering up a deep bouquet of wild berries, cassis and plums mingled with grilled game, spices and woodsmoke, Domaine de la Vougeraie's 2017 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is full-bodied, ample and enveloping, its textural attack segueing into a voluminous mid-palate that's framed by ripe acids and velvety, almost melting tannins. While some bottle age will be rewarded, this is a very accessible Clos de Vougeot that's more about amplitude and finesse than overt structure. |

Wine Advocate (92-94)The 2018 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is promising, revealing lovely aromas of red cherries and raspberries mingled with rose petals and peonies, with little hint of the savory nuances to come. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, structurally refined but introverted, exhibiting fine balance and a precise finish. While it needs some time to round out, it clearly has fine potential. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94-96)The two plots are picked and vinified separately, assembled when the wine is racked to tank. Fine bright purple, with a depth of fruit, almost an exuberance, which is really pleasing. Really delicious fruit weight, just the right acidity and excellent length. Just 25% whole bunches this year |

Tim Atkin MW (95)Fermented with 50% whole clusters, this smells of black currants, blackberries and forest floor. It is firm with concentrated fruit, tangy lift and brisk tannins. Give this a few years to settle down, unless you prefer a more vigorous style of Pinot Noir. 2024-38 |

Vinous (87-89)The 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru feels a little earthy and stemmy on the nose, though it is completely de-steamed; light floral scents emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly stemmy opening, moderate depth and a little dryness towards the finish. I'm not quite convinced by this Clos Vougeot and actually err towards some of Vougeraie's better Premier Crus. |

Wine Advocate (91)Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru from Vougeraie clearly has some stem addition on the nose but it works well: the fruit seems ripe and it does not obscure the terroir. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, sour cherry and strawberry with a fine line of acidity threaded through from start to finish, lending focus and harmony. Still a baby, give this 2-3 more years before broaching. Tasted September 2017. |

Vinous (88)The 2016 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru has a rather facile, pastille-scented bouquet that misses the complexity of its peers. The palate is balanced and clean, but lacks complexity and minerality. Pleasurable but does not engage the intellect. There seems to be some whole bunch fruit here, but it does not quite gel together as well as other examples. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting. |
