Domaine de la Vougeraie Charlemagne 2020 is a Grand Cru Burgundy Chardonnay from a steep, south-facing plot around the top of the hill of Corton. The wine is aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, 40% new. The domaine vineyards have been managed biodynamically since 2001. "The 2020 Charlemagne Grand Cru has a well-defined and quite focused bouquet with admirable mineralité and tension. The palate is taut and fresh, impressive in terms of depth, quite focused and poised with a touch of sea salt towards the finish. Lots of energy here - this is one of Vougeraie’s best whites." Vinous, 2021

The 2020 Charlemagne Grand Cru does not quite possess the same level of ripeness as its peers, but I like how this evolves in the glass, with crushed stone, dried honey and a touch of spice. It seems to gain detail in the glass. The palate is balanced with a taut line of acidity that imparts energy into this Corton-Charlemagne, effortlessly offsetting its inherent richness. Poised and mineral-driven, this dances on the tongue on the finish. Superb. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. Neal Martin9th July 2024

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.
