Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Corvées Pagets La Vougeraie 2020

La «cuvée»

The Nuits-Saint-Georges parcel this wine comes from is located on a slope in the commune of Premeaux-Prissey. It is east-facing and Domaine de la Vougeraie owns 0.3 hectares of it. The soil is pebbly here, with red-tinged, clay-rich earth.
The domain works organically and biodynamically to encourage biodiversity and to give the best fruit possible. The result is an elegant cuvée with notes of fruit and leather. This is a generous wine to pair with a dish like game in sauce.

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.
