Domaine de la Vougeraie is based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, one of the principal communes of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits. The domaine produces Pinot Noir wines from vineyards in this prestigious red wine region, focusing on the detailed, site-specific expressions that characterize serious Burgundy producers.
Nuits-Saint-Georges is known for Pinot Noirs with structure and aging potential, typically showing darker fruit character and mineral complexity compared to lighter expressions from further north in Burgundy. The commune has numerous Premier Cru vineyards that demonstrate the precision possible within the appellation. Domaine de la Vougeraie works within this framework, producing wines that reflect the specific terroir of their holdings.
The domaine's current range includes a Premier Cru wine from Clos des Thorey, a monopole vineyard (owned exclusively by the domaine), which represents the type of single-vineyard expression that defines quality Burgundy production. These wines typically benefit from bottle age and reflect the aging characteristics expected of Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Pinot Noir.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.
Main grapes:
Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.
Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}
The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
