Le Domaine de la Vougeraie was founded in 1999, uniting under a single signature the 91 acres of vineyards owned by the Boisset family. A patchwork of 74 plots covering 42 hectares make up the estate, two-thirds on the Cote de Nuits, one-third on the Cote de Beaune, together producing 36 appellations. At the heart is the diamond set among rubies, the legendary monopole of Vougeot Premier Cru Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot. Our first vineyard, purchased by Jean-Claude and Claudine Boisset in 1964, is the single vineyard Gevrey-Chambertin 'Les Evocelles', and our latest jewel, the Vougeot Premier Cru 'Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot' Monopole is part of our 24 acres in the Vougeot appellation. Pierre Vincent, our winemaker, focuses on the pure expression of Burgundian terroir using organic farming and biodynamics, respecting the environment and making truly unique wines. We are proud to announce that 100% of our vineyards are certified organic by Ecocert since the 2007 harvest. Every step of the way, we pay almost obsessional attention to detail. The winery is equipped with oak vats tailored for each appellation. The vibrating sorting table and vertical press both play a key role in bringing out the best in the grapes. For ageing, eight cooperages bring a range of oak nuances depending on the characteristics of each plot and the vintage. This meticulous care extends right through to bottling, done following the lunar calendar.
