Established in 1999 by Jean-Claude Boisset, Domaine de la Vougeraie was created from a consolidation of 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. The 2018 vintage was widely considered very high in quality and this release should have a very long and promising life ahead.

Vinous
The 2018 Le Charlemagne Grand Cru feels rather one-dimensional on the nose and lacks terroir expression. The palate is rounded with Satsuma and peach on the entry, fine acidity, yet simple and missing some tension on the finish. Some oxidation here. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.

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.
