Domaine de La Vougeraie
“Pierre Vincent has been at the helm of Domaine de la Vougeraie for nigh 10 years now. During that time, in my opinion he has taken them to ever-higher levels, a mixture of a quite startling and seemingly ever expanding treasure trove of bling bling vineyard holdings and a very talented winemaker…”
– Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate
Domaine de La Vougeraie is an estate in the village of Premeaux, Burgundy that was created after the highly-regarded Boisset family combined several of their vineyard holdings throughout the Côte d'Or. Today the land covers nearly 98 acres in 30 different appellations including six grand cru plots, eight premier cru plots, and 11 village appellations. Domaine de La Vougeraie has a monopole over the Vougeot premier cru climat of Les Clos Blanc de Vougeot. Drawing the best characteristics from its terroir, Domaine de La Vougeraie continues to honor the historical and inseparable bond of wine and Burgundy.
Tasting Notes
- WA88–90
- The 2015 Vougeot 1er Cru Clos du Prieuré comes from the domaine's two hectares of vine located just in front of the river. It comes across more tertiary and backward on the nose, perhaps even surly after the brightness of the Pommard Les Petits Noizons. The palate is full of crunchy red berry fruit, very well balanced with just a touch of tangy marmalade on the back palate, perhaps even some confit-like fruit here, with moderate length in the mouth. Probably earlier-drinking than Vougeraie's other 2015s, enjoy this over the next 7-9 years.
