Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, Vougeraie's 2014 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is also showing some reduction on the nose although beneath that lurks a lot of fruit. The palate is well balanced with a spicy, quite saline entry. There is good presence and body here, and yet the finish does not convey the precision nor the mineralité that I found out of barrel. Let's hope for improvement in bottle.<br/>
Producer
Domaine de la Vougeraie

Idyllically positioned outside of Nuits-Saint-Georges in Prémeaux, Domaine de la Vougeraie is coincidently named after its significant holdings in the Vougeot village. Created in 1999 by Jean-Claude Boisset of the Boisset group, this fine Burgundy domaine is rather new to the wine scene. Grouping together all of the properties of his several négociant companies, this patchwork of a vineyard now prospers, stretching over 44-hectares across 37 different appellations, nine of which are Grand Cru classified. Today, Pierre Vincent is the head vintner, and takes a more delicate approach. Producing over 30 wines from their biodynamically farmed vineyards, Domaine de la Vougeraie wines, like us, are entirely their own. Balanced by their dichotomy of candor and intricacy - they are by far the most authentic examples coming from Burgundy.
