Vougeraie
The Story
Domaine de La Vougeraie stands as our flagship Burgundian estate and the very precursor to JCB’s vision of excellence. Since 1999, it has embodied the Boisset family’s unwavering pursuit of quality, with organic and biodynamic practices shaping wines that are poised, precise, and unforgettable.
In the local dialect the original name, En Noyons, meant a place where walnut trees were found. Owned in the 13th century by Alix de Vergy, duchess of Burgundy, Pommard passed into the hands of the Archbishops of Lyon, then a ducal estate, and finally to Burgundian noble families.
The vines themselves are intimately linked with the history of Burgundy, as it was the monks of the Abbeys of Saint-Bénigne at Dijon, and Cîteaux, and the knights of Saint John of Jerusalem who surveyed the harvests. Another well-known owner was Gaspard Monge, inventor of descriptive geometry and a senior official of the Empire, whose daughter married a local château-owner, Nicolas-Joseph Marey.
