Based in Prémeaux-Prissey, Domaine de la Vougeraie was formed in 1999 when wine entrepreneur Jean-Claude Boisset decided to consolidate all the vineyard holdings of his various négociant companies acquired over the years. With nearly 40 hectares of vineyard area and over 30 different appellations, this is undoubtedly one of Burgundy’s leading estates. This cuvée comes from Musigny Grand Cru where Vougeraie owns a 0.21-hectare plot of biodynamic vines. The 2020 vintage was aged for 16 months in oak barrels [28% new] and bottled on 7th February 2022. A limited production of only 961 bottles.

Vinous
The 2020 Musigny Grand Cru is a little more succinct and mineral-driven than Mugnier's Amoureuses, which precedes it: Morello cherries mixed with raspberry, white-tipped strawberry, cranberry and Earl Grey. Entrancing. Bergamot scents begin to evolve with continued aeration. This conveys a sense of Pinot Noir instead of the growing season. The palate is medium-bodied and velvety in terms of texture, with slightly exotic red berry fruit, hints of Italian meats and white pepper. It's very harmonious towards the finish. It needs time to subsume the oak, but there is real class here. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. Neal Martin30th October 2024
