Vintage Character In the 2023 vintage, the Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru appellation shines brilliantly through the Domaine de la Vougeraie Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru. Warm summer months accelerated ripening, followed by cooler September harvest conditions that preserved vibrant acidity and balanced sugars. The grapes are sourced from the estate's prized 1.42-hectare holdings within this historic Grand Cru. Here, varied soils—ranging from limestone-heavy upper slopes to clay-rich lower plots—provide a unique complexity, yielding a structured, majestic wine.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, this Grand Cru reveals a bouquet of wild blackberries, dark cherries, and fresh violets, underscored by hints of forest floor and sweet spices. The palate is concentrated yet elegant, defined by silky tannins and a vibrant core of red fruit leading into a persistent, mineral-driven finish. Pair this wine with classic pan-seared duck breast with cherry reduction, roasted venison loin, or Chinese roasted squab.
Winery Background Domaine de la Vougeraie was established in 1999 by the Boisset family to unite their finest parcels under a philosophy of ecological stewardship. Cultivated using certified biodynamic practices since 1999, the estate emphasizes living soils and manual harvesting to express pure terroir. Winemaker Timothée Gaussorgues employs low-intervention techniques, including partial whole-cluster fermentation and aging in French oak, to craft precise, benchmark-worthy Burgundy.
