Domaine de la Vougeraie Corton Grand Cru "Le Charlemagne" 2019
The destiny of this vineyard, a gift from the emperor Charlemagne to the Canons of the Collegiate of Saint-Andoche at Saulieu, in 775, was truly exceptional in that it remained in the hands of this religious community for over 1000 years. Chardonnay reigns supreme. On its journey across the palate it is elevated and accomplished, with body and bouquet melting together superbly. Smooth and dry, firm yet gentle, deep and structured, this is a wine of undeniable character and grace.
The winery is Domaine de la Vougeraie. Pronounced ‘Voo-jher-aye’, rolls off the tongue like perfume wrapped in silk. The winery was founded in 1999 when Jean-Charles Boisset decided to consolidate the best 86.4 acres of his family’s vineyards into one domain. They are the largest Burgundy producer still producing small-lot wines of nuance and subtlety.
