Domaine De La Vougeraie Corton Le Clos Du Roi Grand Cru Ro 2013 (6x 750mL)

The Domaine de la Vougeraie was created in 1999 from a decision to regroup all the family’s vineyards in the area into a single entity. The “Vougeraie”, the family home, is a symbol of filiation – from our grandfather, Louis Boisset, through Jean-Claude, his son and today to Nathalie and Jean-Charles, his grandchildren, the driving forces behind the rebirth of the estate. The name also evokes “Vougeot”, where we have ten hectares of precious vines; a third of the total area.

La Vougeraie is also about a desire to produce excellent wines that evoke their terroir, a demanding philosophy and one which is behind the choice made at the very outset, to use organic cultivation practices and thus ensure living soil that inspires pure wines. Soon after, a more holistic vision lead to the introduction of biodynamic practices, and these are now common to over half of the estate.

The Domaine de la Vougeraie is comprised of a mosaic of 67 plots over 34 hectares, with two-thirds on the Côte de Nuits, and the remainder on the Côte de Beaune, producing 27 appellations. At the heart of the estate is our “diamond set within rubies”, the mythical, magical monopole of Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot. Carefully worked land, small yields, concentrated grapes handled with extreme gentleness from their birth through to their metamorphosis and individual vinification and maturing for each plot all contribute to the elegant style and ever-more precise definition of terroir to be found in every bottle.
