Established in 1999 by the Boisset family, Domaine de la Vougeraie is biodynamic wine estate comprising some of the most prestigious and historical vineyards in Burgundy. With nearly 40 hectares and over 30 different appellations – including six grand crus – Domaine de la Vougeraie is considered by many one of the region’s leading producers. This release is the domaine’s 2016 Musigny Grand Cru, an historically important site in Burgundy. Musigny was singled out as a separate vineyard since the Middle Ages by the monks of Citeaux, yet unlike Clos Vougeot it remained un-walled.

Vinous
The 2016 Musigny Grand Cru is a little more opaque than J-F Mugnier’s Musigny: quite tertiary in style and perhaps missing the flamboyance and profundity that a Musigny can bring. The palate is medium-bodied with quite bold tannins, demonstrating perhaps a little more extraction than its peers. Quite dense with a grippy finish, this is a Musigny that does not quite slip into fifth gear, although it does meliorate with aeration. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.
