The Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru unwinds in the glass with aromas of plums, warm spices, potpourri, wintergreen and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a broad attack and an ample core of fruit, it's a little shy after its recent bottling even though in profile this is a rather supple, charming interpretation of this site.

The Domaine de la Vougeraie was born in 1999 from the desire of the Boisset family - the largest Burgundian wine merchant - to group together under a single banner a set of vines acquired over time. Its name evokes family roots, the village of Vougeot, the emblematic appellation of the estate which has 10 hectares there. The estate now has 34 hectares, or 67 plots and 27 appellations.

The estate was marked during these first seven years by the personality of Quebecois Pascal Marchand, its manager, who gave way to Pierre Vincent, since the 2006 vintage. This young oenologist has taken up the torch and established the already good reputation. established by the estate by imposing its style: concentration, finesse and harmony.

Fully certified in biology. In 2010, all of the Côte de Nuits vintages were vinified in whole harvests for more complexity and freshness. All the wines are aged in barrels with a proportion of new barrels varying between 20 and 100% depending on the appellations.

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.

Clos de Vougeot, also known as Clos Vougeot, is one of the most famous and emblematic vineyards in the Burgundy wine region of France, particularly within the Côte de Nuits area. This Grand Cru vineyard is steeped in history, with origins dating back to the 12th century when Cistercian monks first began cultivating grapes here.

**Location and Terroir:**
Clos de Vougeot is located in the village of Vougeot, between the towns of Chambolle-Musigny and Vosne-Romanée. The vineyard covers approximately 50 hectares (about 124 acres), making it the largest single vineyard in Côte de Nuits designated as Grand Cru. The terroir varies significantly across the vineyard due to its size and slight variations in slope and aspect, which results in a range of wine styles from the various producers who own parcels here.

The soil in Clos de Vougeot is predominantly limestone mixed with marl, lending a distinct mineral quality to the wines. The best plots are generally considered to be those located higher up on the slope, where the soil is thinner and the limestone bedrock is closer to the surface.

**Wine Characteristics:**
Clos de Vougeot is exclusively red wine, made from Pinot Noir. The wines from this Grand Cru are known for their robust structure, deep complexity, and potential for aging. They typically exhibit flavors of red and black cherries, earth, and spices, with a firm tannic backbone and high acidity that can evolve gracefully over many years.

**Viticulture and Winemaking:**
Over 80 different owners hold parcels within Clos de Vougeot, leading to considerable diversity in winemaking approaches. Traditional methods, such as hand harvesting, natural fermentations, and aging in French oak barrels, are common, although specifics such as the proportion of new oak and the duration of aging vary by producer. 

**Historical Significance:**
The iconic Château de Clos de Vougeot, situated within the vineyard, houses the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin, an influential wine society dedicated to promoting Burgundy. The château and its walls, which still enclose the vineyard, were built by the Cistercian monks and are a landmark of Burgundy's winemaking heritage.

**Modern Recognition:**
Despite the variability in style due to the different winemaking techniques and precise plot locations, Clos de Vougeot maintains a reputation as one of Burgundy's most prestigious and sought-after wines. It embodies the complexity and elegance that Burgundy wines are renowned for and continues to be a cornerstone of the region’s viticultural identity.
