Shortly after Domaine de la Vougeraie was established by Jean-Charles Boisset in 1999, Veritas was fortunate enough to form a lasting relationship that has endured to the present time. The roots of Domaine de la Vougeraie can be traced back to the Boisset family vineyards, with some holdings dating back to the 1960s. Jean-Charles Boisset consolidated these vineyards to form a single estate named after the family home in Vougeot.
The Domaine amalgamates several family vineyards, creating a portfolio that spans 34 hectares across some of the most prestigious appellations in the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. The estate is committed to biodynamic and organic viticulture, which have been fully implemented since 2001. This approach not only enhances the health of the vines and the quality of the grapes but also promotes biodiversity within the vineyards.
At Domaine de la Vougeraie, winemaking is carried out with minimal intervention to preserve the purity and expression of the terroir. The estate employs traditional techniques combined with modern innovations to ensure the highest quality. Fermentation typically takes place with natural yeasts, and the use of new oak is carefully measured to avoid overpowering the natural flavors of the wine. This results in wines that are elegant, balanced, and capable of aging gracefully.
