The 2023 Domaine de la Vougeraie Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is an exceptional white Burgundy crafted from Chardonnay grown on the legendary Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru hillside. Produced using biodynamic viticulture, it showcases remarkable purity, minerality and precision, reflecting one of Burgundy's greatest terroirs. The nose is beautifully expressive, revealing aromas of white peach, lemon zest and citrus blossom, complemented by notes of flint, roasted hazelnut, brioche and finely integrated French oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully textured, creamy mouthfeel, delivering flavours of ripe stone fruit, grapefruit and lemon curd layered with hints of toasted almond, subtle oak spice and striking mineral complexity. The finish is exceptionally long, focused and beautifully balanced, combining power with remarkable elegance and outstanding ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a world-class Grand Cru Burgundy for lovers of fine Chardonnay seeking exceptional elegance, complexity and longevity. Beautifully expressive now after a short decant, or cellar confidently over the next 15–20 years. Ideal with lobster, scallops, turbot, roast chicken with morels or mature Comté cheese.
