Musigny Grand Cru La Vougeraie 2014

La «cuvée»

"One day I'd love to have a chance to make wine from Musigny grapes." When you hear these words spoken by Aubert de Villaine, owner of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, you understand that this legendary cru made between Vougeot and Chambolle occupies a special place in the history of Burgundy. Its red clay soil produces the finest Pinot Noir anywhere in Burgundy. The Domaine de la Vougeraie owns two rows in the Les Musigny vineyard, amounting to a total of 21 ares. These plots have been farmed according to biodynamic principles since 2001. The bouquet is deep, with several levels of complexity gradually becoming apparent. Obviously, the mouth is where the incomparable tactile nature of this wine really captivates the drinker. A legend that every wine connoisseur needs to have tasted at least once.

Founded in 1999, the estate brings together the finest vineyard holdings patiently acquired by the Boisset family since the 1960s, reflecting a meticulous and uncompromising vision of Burgundian winemaking. The story began in 1964 with the purchase of Les Evocelles in Gevrey-Chambertin, the family’s very first parcel. Over the decades, the vineyard steadily expanded to include some of the Côte de Nuits’ and Côte de Beaune’s most celebrated appellations.
Today, the estate extends across around 52 hectares divided between more than 60 individual parcels. Most are planted to Pinot Noir, alongside a smaller proportion of Chardonnay, including several exceptional Grands Crus and Premiers Crus such as Musigny, Bonnes-Mares, Clos de Vougeot, Charlemagne and Bâtard-Montrachet.
Organic farming came first, followed by biodynamic viticulture, certified since 2001, driven by the conviction that living, healthy soils produce wines of greater purity and more compelling expression. Both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are harvested by hand before each parcel is vinified separately. Fermentations rely on native yeasts, while carefully judged ageing allows each terroir to reveal its individual character.
The wines are defined by their aromatic definition, precise energy and depth, combining finesse with outstanding ageing potential. Whether mineral-driven whites or elegant reds, they rank among the finest wines of contemporary Burgundy and are highly sought after by collectors and fine-wine lovers around the world.
