Domaine de la Vougeraie stands as one of Burgundy`s foremost producers, boasting an impressive expanse of nearly 40 hectares of vineyards and a remarkable portfolio of over 30 diverse appellations, including six Grand Cru sites. Its foundation dates back to 1999 when wine entrepreneur Jean-Claude Boisset made the decision to consolidate all the vineyard holdings from his various négociant companies, marking the inception of this exceptional estate. The 2021 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is sourced from three distinct plots that together span 0.4 hectares, one of which is planted with 70-year-old vines. It is an opulent wine, characterized by rich flavours of ripe apples, toasted hazelnuts, orange peel, and subtle hints of anise.

Vinous
The 2021 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is another that sports reduction, but here it seems more fixed and difficult to dislodge. It completely obscures the terroir expression. The palate is again very reductive and smothers the fruit, though the honeyed texture is quite alluring. However, it does miss some delineation and mineralité on the finish, rendering it rather generic compared to the best wines in this flight. Some oxidation in the glass, albeit not as severe as others. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. Neal Martin8th October 2025
