- TASTING NOTE: "The 2017 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a generous bouquet, the discreet stem addition lending an attractive leafiness that complements the brambly re fruit. More undergrowth scents emerge with time. The palate is silky-smooth on the entry, very plush but controlled, and despite the opulence, terroir floods through this Bonnes-Mares, which fans out wonderfully on the finish. This is an impressive showing and one of the best from the domaine this vintage. A long-term prospect. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting" 95 POINTS - NEAL MARTIN, VINOUS (SEPT 2021)

- 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 42 hectares make up the estate, two-thirds on the Côte de Nuits, one-third on the Côte de Beaune, together producing 36 appellations. At the heart of this is the the legendary Premier Cru monopole, Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot.
