Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The maiden 2012 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos des Thorey comes from the lieu-dit Haut Thorey. Representing three hectares, it was fermented with 50% whole bunches. It has an excellent bouquet with fragrant red berry fruit and minerals – superb definition here. The palate is sensual and very focused on the entry: a real citric tension here with superb finesse on the finish. This is one of the estate’s best wines this year – this is a debut that deserves a round of applause. Range: 91-93

Wine Spectator
This is expressive, boasting black cherry, raspberry, spice and kirsch notes. Firm, ending with a lingering hint of sweet fruit and spice. Knits all the elements together nicely. Best from 2018 through 2030. 45 cases imported.

Wine & Spirits
The bottom half of this 7.4-acre vineyard dates to 1975, while the upper half was replanted in 2013. Its chalks soils give a fragrant, rosy Nuits, a formidably concentrated wine that keeps a skinny profile. It's fresh and high-toned, with oak adding notes of star anise and dark coffee. Several tasters noted the wine's dual nature, which one described as "pretty, and also masculine."

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.
