Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru was missing some complexity on the nose compared to the Bonnes-Mares from Bruno Clair, with sweet red cherries and a touch of kirsch. Yet it needs to show more mineralité and terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe red cherries and strawberry and showing quite a lot of structure towards the finish that grips the palate. I would just like more persistence to show through here. Tasted September 2016.
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.
