This two-acre walled vineyard once belonged to the Benedictine priory of the abbey of St-Germain-des-Prés in Paris. The chardonnay vines face east, where they border the Vouge stream, growing in calcareous soil with a lot of pebbles. The wine itself is all about minerals, its powerful density following a gracious, simple line. Deep and satisfyingly rich, its gravitas is lightened by scents of spice and flowers.

Le Domaine de la Vougeraie was founded in 1999, uniting under a single signature the 91 acres of vineyards owned by the Boisset family. Our vineyards are in 30 different appellations in the Côte d'Or, with two-thirds in the Côte de Nuits and one-third in the Côte de Beaune. 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.
