Ziemlich aufhellendes Weinrot. Intensives, duftiges Bouquet, zeigt hälftig Frucht aber auch hälftig feinste Terroirnuancen. Samtig eleganter Fluss, wunderschön ausgeglichen und unglaublich viele Finessen zeigend. Im Gegensatz zu den sonst jungstrengen Vougeraie-Weinen ist dieser erstaunlich zugänglich. Da macht viel Spass! 18/20 beginnen

The 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Village comes from 5 different parcels such as “Les Galands” and “La Justice” and this year it contains 50% whole bunches. It has a foursquare but defined bouquet with simple brambly, slightly tertiary red fruit. The palate works well with sappy red berries, a fine line of acidity and a solid, stocky finish with grippy tannins. This will provide enjoyable early drinking. Domaine de la Vougeraie was founded in 1998 when the domaines of Claudine Deschamps, Pierre Ponnelle, Louis Voilland and L’Heritier-Guyot were merged. I remember it well because at the time I was exporting L’Heritier-Guyot’s wines to Japan (to be frank, they were quite ordinary back then.) The man behind the venture was Jean-Claude Boisset, whose own considerable holdings meant that Domaine de la Vougeraie became a significant player in the Cote d’Or, with 37 hectares of prime vineyard including seven grand crus to their name. I have to be honest and say that like many others, I liked the first few vintages of their wine, but found them a little predictable and seemed to struggle for charm and personality. Perhaps that was a reflection of former winemaker Pascal Marchand applying the practices he had learned at Comte Armand: a lot of new oak with 100% de-stemmed fruit – not really my bag. When he departed for pastures new, incoming winemaker Pierre Vincent seemed to apply a gentler touch. The new oak is still part of the wines’ character, but there is certainly a more considered approach, plus he is more open to using whole cluster fruit. Managing such an array of wines with a relatively small team cannot be easy in challenging vintages such as 2012, or for that matter 2013. Pierre told me that his average yields were 22 hectoliters per hectare, though for the grand crus, they were down to 17 hectoliters per hectare.

Domaine de la Vougeraie

In posizione idilliaca fuori Nuits-Saint-Georges a Prémeaux, Domaine de la Vougeraie fu chiamato così dopo le importanti acquisizioni nel paese di Vougeot. Creata nel 1999 da Jean-Claude Boisset del gruppo Boisset, questa bella tenuta di Borgogna è abbastanza nuova sulla scena del vino. Riunendo tutte le proprietà delle sue numerose società négociant, i vigneti frammentati si estendono su 44 ettari in 37 denominazioni diverse, di cui nove classificate Grand Cru. Oggi Pierre Vincent è il vinificatore responsabile e usa un approccio più delicato. Con oltre 30 vini da vigneti coltivati con metodo biodinamico, i vini di Domaine de la Vougeraie, come noi, hanno il loro carattere. Equilibrati dalla dicotomia tra semplicità e complessità, sono di gran lunga gli esempi più autentici della Borgogna.
