Domaine de la Vougeraie was founded in 1999 by Jean-Charles and Nathalie Boisset, who brought together their family's vineyard holdings across the Côte d'Or. The estate has been farmed biodynamically since 2001. The Clos du Prieuré sits in the village of Vougeot, near the small river Vouge. It's a walled vineyard owned entirely by the domaine, and its name points back to the village's monastic past. Vougeot is known almost only for red wine, so a white from here is a rarity. This one is made from Chardonnay grown on the lower, flatter ground near the river. In 2012 the growing season was a hard one: a deep winter freeze, a poor flowering, a rainy early summer and hail in parts of the Côte. Yields were among the smallest in decades, but the fine weather late in the season produced whites with concentrated fruit and lively energy. More than ten years on, this bottle should show the richer, nutty side of mature white Burgundy. It goes well with roast chicken, scallops or a washed-rind cheese.
Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
