Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Burgundy White

€340,00 / 75cl inc. VAT

In this vibrant 2024 vintage, the Batard Montrachet Grand cru from Domaine de la Vougeraie immediately establishes its stature with remarkable purity. The palate combines the flesh of stone fruits with subtle, discreet spices, carried by a chalky texture of great straightness. Pierced by a saline brilliance and a clean, lingering finish, this very energetic cuvée is undeniably built for aging.

Vinous Tasting Note

The 2024 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a focused nose and feels intense, more than the preceding 2024 Charlemagne. It offers scents of petrichor, Granny Smiths and just a hint of struck match, all very well defined. The palate is tensile on the entry, quite fresh with a lovely slightly honeyed texture, quite rich considering the growing season but it retains control towards the finish. Maybe it does not deliver the mineralité of the best examples but for me this is a step up from the previous vintage.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Domaine de la Vougeraie, owned by the Boisset family, has established itself as an essential benchmark in Burgundy. Anchored in the heart of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, this wine estate showcases a remarkable range of terroirs. Biodynamic farming is practiced with great rigor, with the goal of exalting the purest expression of each plot. After being led by Pierre Vincent, Sylvie Poillot now directs the winemaking, crafting wines of rare elegance. Among the jewels of Domaine de la Vougeraie are magnificent interpretations of Grand Crus, notably in the Côte de Nuits with Musigny, Bonnes-Mares, and Charmes-Chambertin Les Mazoyeres. The estate also excels in the Côte de Beaune, with a high-flying Corton-Charlemagne and the rare monopole, Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot. The latter, a historical curiosity, was planted with Pinot Beurot (Pinot Gris) in the Middle Ages by the monks of Cîteaux, bearing witness to the region's long viticultural history. Domaine de la Vougeraie thus illustrates a perfect mastery of Burgundy's greatest terroirs. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Domaine de la Vougeraie Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot Monopole, Domaine de la Vougeraie Musigny Grand Cru, and Domaine de la Vougeraie Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru—useful benchmarks for understanding the house's identity.
