Tasting Notes

Ten-kilometers south of Beaune lies a unique Burgundian niche. Contrasting the steep terroirs of the Côte de Nuits, Montrachet presents a somewhat flat and arid expanse. Originally known as "Mont Rachet" (meaning "bald mountain"), it evolved over time to Montrachet. Legend has it that the name of this esteemed Grand Cru blanc stems from the land's division by the Lord of Montrachet between his two sons. one became a Knight fighting the enemy during the Crusades and the other, illegitimate, who would have given the name to the cru of Bâtard-Montrachet located just below Montrachet.

Reviews and Accolades

AWARDS & ACCOLADES

19.5/20

Rue de France

Beautiful deep nose on citrus fruits with the strength and breadth of its terroir in support, without ever falling into heaviness. The most beautiful wine of all vintages.

92-94

Robert Parker

Richer and more muscular than the elegant Charlemagne, the 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru offers up notes of pear, citrus oil, beeswax, fresh hay and toasted nuts. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with ripe acids and chalky structuring extract.

Domaine de la Vougeraie

Nathalie and Jean-Charles Boisset's Domaine de La Vougeraie is a tapestry of treasured vineyards, woven together from acquisitions and the family's own inheritance. Its roots trace back to 1964 when their father purchased the Les Evocelles plot in his hometown of Gevrey-Chambertin. The subsequent decades saw expansions to Vougeot and the Côte de Beaune. By 1996, the collection further broadened near Beaune, and eventually circled back to Vougeot with the acquisition of the illustrious monopole, Le Clos Blanc, renowned for its radiant golden wines. Thus, in a journey that felt like a natural homecoming, Domaine de la Vougeraie was birthed in 1999. Named after the family residence, La Vougeraie, it signifies the lineage of Jean-Claude and Claudine Boisset and their vision carried forward by their children, Nathalie and Jean-Charles. The heart of this domain beats in Vougeot. Throughout its evolution, the Domaine's commitment to excellence and passion has remained unwavering.
