2017 | Domaine de la Vougeraie | Charlemagne 15L

Vougeraie’s Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne offering is produced from two tiny 0.2ha parcels of vines in the lieux-dits of Le Charlemagne and En Charlemagne. The vines here are towards the top of the hill of Corton and were planted as far back as the 1950s. Vinification commenced in stainless steel but was finished in barrels, followed by 18 months maturation in 44% new oak. Just one Nebuchadnezzar of the 2017 vintage was produced.

Producer Information

Domaine de la Vougeraie is an estate created through the amalgamation of several vineyard holdings acquired by the Boisset family in Burgundy's Côte d'Or. It is one of the newer domaines in Burgundy, with the first vintage being 1999. Today, holdings cover nearly 40 hectares (98 acres) in 30 different appellations throughout the region. The winery itself is located in the village of Premeaux which is situated between the Pinot Noir-dominated Côte de Nuits and the Chardonnay-dominant Côte de Beaune.Domaine de la Vougeraie has plots in six grand cru, eight premier cru and 11 village appellations. The grand cru plots are in Charmes-Chambertin, Bonnes Mares, Musigny, Clos de Vougeot, Corton le Clos de Roi and Corton Charlemagne. Domaine de la Vougeraie also has a monopole over the Vougeot premier cru climat Les Clos Blanc de Vougeot. This small site, which sits adjacent to Clos de Vougeot and is surrounded by Pinot Noir vineyards on all sides, makes some of the most sought-after white wines in Burgundy. It is planted with Chardonnay and very small amounts of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc, atop soils of white clay and silt.
