Vougeot “Le Clos Blanc” 2020 Magnum – Domaine de la Vougeraie

A rare and distinctive cuvée from the Côte de Nuits, Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot 2020 by Domaine de la Vougeraie expresses one of Burgundy’s most singular white wines, combining breadth, limestone tension, floral refinement and serene depth in a magnum format ideally suited for ageing.

Terroir & Identity

The Clos Blanc de Vougeot holds a unique place within Burgundy. Located in a village almost exclusively renowned for its great red wines, this historic parcel produces one of the most distinctive and confidential whites of the Côte de Nuits. As a true monopole, the Domaine de la Vougeraie offers a precise and refined interpretation of this terroir, highlighting the finesse of the soils, the clarity of the exposition and the inherent personality of the site.

The cuvée is primarily based on Chardonnay, complemented by small proportions of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris, giving the wine a subtly distinctive profile. The domaine follows a certified organic and biodynamic approach, with a constant focus on purity, balance and respect for the living environment. This philosophy is reflected in a wine that is both generous and precise, where richness remains perfectly controlled by inner tension.

The 2020 vintage delivers a particularly compelling expression: solar in ripeness, yet supported by a structuring freshness and remarkable clarity. On this terroir, it results in a wine that is both generous and finely defined. The magnum format (1.5 L) further enhances its ageing potential, allowing for a slower, more harmonious and nuanced evolution over time.
