The 2022 Domaine de la Vougeraie Terres de Famille Bourgogne Rouge is a refined regional Pinot Noir that blends fruit from multiple vineyard sites across Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, delivering a cohesive expression of Burgundy terroir. Produced using minimal-intervention methods and fully destemmed fruit, it focuses on purity, freshness and precision.
The nose is lifted and expressive, showing red cherry, raspberry and plum, layered with subtle earthy notes, spice and a hint of forest floor. There is a clear Burgundian aromatic profile, combining bright fruit with savoury complexity and mineral lift.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky, finely textured mouthfeel and fresh acidity. Red and dark fruit are supported by a light mineral backbone and gentle structure, leading to a clean, balanced and quietly persistent finish. The style is elegant and approachable, offering classic Pinot Noir finesse with excellent drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a perfect "entry-level serious Burgundy" that we position just above generic Bourgogne level thanks to the producer’s quality and vineyard sources. It’s ideal for customers who want to step into real Burgundy Pinot Noir without going into Premier Cru pricing. Compared to New World Pinot, this is more savoury, mineral and structured; compared to higher Burgundy tiers, it’s more approachable and versatile. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with roast chicken, duck, mushroom dishes or charcuterie.
