Domaine de la Vougeraie Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 'Les Mazoyères' 2017
- TASTING NOTE: "The 2017 Charmes-Chambertin les Mazoyéres Grand Cru comes from the oldest vines owned by the domaine, now 104 years old, which apparently have no disease and still offer good yields at around 30hl/ha. It has a quite a backward bouquet that gradually unfurls to reveal crushed stone, broom and Provencal herb aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, the 80% whole bunches neatly interated, and gentle grip toward the finish. Good potential here." 92-94 POINTS - NEAL MARTIN, VINOUS
- ABOUT THE WINE: Handpicked fruit is sourced from vineyards with an average age of 60 years (with some vines over 100 years old). This is a correspondingly serious red that was fermented with 80% whole bunches and aged in 40% new oak.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The Domaine de la Vougeraie was created in 1999, combining the family property of Jean-Claude Boisset and his children and successors Nathalie and Jean-Charles. The aim at La Vougeraie is to reveal the excellence of each terroir. This exacting philosophy was clear from the start through the choice of organic cultivation, marking a return to the living soil in a quest for the purest wines. Soon after, they took the first step into biodynamic practices, gradually adopting a more holistic vision. Today Vougeraie is a very large domain with a patchwork of 74 plots covering 52 hectares make up the estate, two-thirds on the Côte de Nuits, one-third on the Côte de Beaune, together producing 41 appellations. At the heart of this is the the legendary Premier Cru monopole, Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot.
