Recently awarded 3 stars by RVF for its "exceptional level," and a beacon of grand Burgundy prestige, Domaine de la Vougeraie stands as one of the most accomplished houses today. Its organic cultivation and biodynamic practices, in place for twenty years, along with a magnificent vineyard heritage – 67 plots over 34 hectares – and the talent of Sylvie Poillot, result in captivating wines. These are among the most elegant and inspiring of their appellations.
The commitment to meticulous cultivation combined with inspired craftsmanship, including the significant use of whole-bunch fermentation, creates a delicate and sensual style. This approach offers a supreme grace in texture and flavor.
The estate has now established itself as one of the most promising in the Burgundy landscape, consistently producing exceptional wines. It's time to fully recognize its stature! |
