Domaine de la Vougeraie was created in 1999 when Jean-Claude Boisset consolidated all the vineyard holdings accrued from his various négociant companies, consisting nearly 40 hectares of vines across 30 different appellations and including six grand crus. In recent years, this organic certified domaine has hit a new gear and is producing some of the most compelling wines in the region.

Vougeraie’s Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne offering is produced from two tiny 0.2ha parcels of vines in the lieux-dits of Le Charlemagne and En Charlemagne. The vines here are towards the top of the hill of Corton and were planted as far back as the 1950s. Vinification commenced in stainless steel but was finished in barrels, followed by 18 months maturation in 44% new oak. Just one Nebuchadnezzar of the 2017 vintage was produced.

Vinous
The 2017 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a simple, slightly monotone, tropical-scented nose featuring chunks of pineapple and peach. Likewise, the palate is a bit "tutti frutti," offering orange and peach but little apropos of terroir expression or mineralité. This seems to oxidize in the glass.

Located between the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune in Prémeaux, Domaine de la Vougeraie was founded by Jean-Claude Boisset in 1999. The name was inspired by domaine’s significant vineyard holdings in the village of Vougeot, which is also Boisset’s home.

One of Burgundy’s leading domaines, Vougeraie owns about 40ha of vineyard in more than 30 different appellations of Burgundy, including the Grands Crus of Clos Vougeot, Musigny, Bonnes-Mares, Charmes Chambertin, Mazoyères, Corton Clos du Roi and Corton Charlemagne. The domaine vineyards have been managed biodynamically since 2001. The highest possible production values and strictest levels of quality control, including a state-of-the-art sorting table, are maintained for the domaine’s entire range of wines. The domaine’s general manager, Sylvie Poillot, has managed the winemaking team since Pierre Vincent departed for Domaine Leflaive.
