Histoire du domaine
The Boisset family’s winemaking history, which lies at the origins of Domaine de la Vougeraie, dates back to the 1960s, with the Evocelles vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin. Over the decades, the family acquired plots in the Côte de Nuits, particularly around Vougeot, and later in the Côte de Beaune. The estate was established under the name Domaine de la Vougeraie in 1999, through the consolidation of these family-owned vineyards and estates acquired gradually. Nathalie Berges-Boisset and her brother Jean-Charles Boisset were involved in its creation. The vineyard has been managed organically since the estate’s inception and has been entirely biodynamic since 2011, according to documentation from the Boisset Group. The estate has developed a plot-by-plot approach, with winemaking and ageing methods tailored to each specific plot. Whole-bunch vinification was introduced for red wines from 2008 onwards, depending on the cuvée and vintage. The winery is located in Premeaux-Prissey, between the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. Today, Camille Leynaud-Prince is responsible for the estate’s oenology and winemaking.

Le Clos du Prieuré is a walled vineyard enclosure located in the Le Village climat, within the Vougeot village appellation. Its red wine section, planted with Pinot Noir, is bordered by the Vouge river and has an eastern exposure. The estate describes a highly calcareous soil, rich in rounded pebbles, with a subsoil likely composed of pure silts. "Clos du Prieuré" is the name of this enclosed property, while Le Village is the lieu-dit officially mentioned by the BIVB for this Village-level sector.

Histoire de la parcelle
The land belonged to the Benedictine priory dependent on the Parisian abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, present in the neighboring parish of Gilly as early as the 11th century. Following conflicts with the Abbey of Cîteaux, Saint-Germain-des-Prés relinquished its rights in Gilly and Vougeot in 1499 in exchange for lands near Melun. The vineyard was subsequently sold at the end of the 18th century during the French Revolution. Its enclosure wall still stands.
