Blend and winemaking

This Bourgogne AOC is made exclusively from Pinot Noir. The parcels, chosen for their complementarity, tell the estate’s identity, where rigorous vineyard management, largely certified biodynamic, preserves soil vitality and juice clarity. Meticulous harvesting, careful sorting and measured extraction prioritise gentle infusion to favour aromatic purity and fine tannins. The ageing lasts 16 months in barrels, with nearly 20% new oak, bringing structure, depth and a silky grain without ever overpowering the fruit. Every action aims for balance, to deliver a palate driven by the vintage’s energy and the harmony of discreet oak. The result is a focused, expressive wine with a clear backbone and a savoury, lingering finish, true to Domaine de la Vougeraie’s controlled style.

Tasting notes

• Appearance: Bright ruby with carmine highlights, clear and lively, promising a fine texture and clean fruit.
• Nose: Wild strawberry, crunchy raspberry and fresh cherry intertwine with floral peony notes, a touch of gentle spice and a breath of tea leaf. The whole shows precision and delicacy.
• Palate: Silky opening, fine-grained tannins, juicy and dynamic core. The measured freshness stretches the finish with echoes of small red fruits, a saline hint and integrated oak, for a savoury and airy sensation.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve at 16°C in large Burgundy-style glasses to open the aromatic range and appreciate the silky texture. Decanting for 20 to 30 minutes can be recommended in its youth to soften the oak and reveal the fruit’s brightness. Offered en primeur, this 2024 vintage is scheduled for estimated delivery early 2027, after careful ageing and rest at the estate. Store bottles quietly, away from light, lying down, between 12 and 14°C with stable humidity to preserve freshness and the firmness of the tannins.
