Domaine de la Vougeraie was founded in 1999 by the inimitable Jean-Claude Basset with the amalgamation of the former domaines Claudine Deschamps, Pierre Ponnelle, Louis Voilland, L’Heritier-Guyot and Alex Gambal. With parcels in some of the most prestigious appellations of Burgundy, viticulture and winemaking is meticulous and is both organic and biodynamic certified.

The brilliant 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru was made from a tiny 0.15-hectare parcel of vines that is still worked by horses and was matured in 33% new oak for 18 months. Once again, a highlight of the Vougeraie portfolio, just 773 bottles and 48 magnums were produced of this beautiful wine.

95 Vinous
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. Neal Martin1st August 2021

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.
