Domaine de la Vougeraie based in Premeaux just south of Nuits St Georges, was created in 1999 when Jean-Claude Boisset of the Boisset group decided to group together all the vineyard holdings of his various negociant companies acquired over the years. The name comes from the significant holdings – and indeed Jean-Claude Boisset’s home – in the village of Vougeot. The winery is located however in the old Claudine Deschamps (Madame Jean-Claude Boisset) cellars in Prémeaux. The domaine was put together from the various vineyard holdings which had accrued through the Boisset acquisitions of Burgundian houses over the years. Pascal Marchand was put in charge in 1999, with Bernard Zito in the vineyards, which were farmed biodynamically. Pascal produced powerful wines, fairly heavily extracted in his early vintages but clearly was subsequently moving to a softer approach by 2004.

| Vinification | There is no macerating the skins for white wines. After systematic sorting of the Chardonnay grapes, they are pressed using gentle pneumatic cycles lasting three hours in order to best-protect the must. It is then left to settle for a natural clarification. |
| Closure | Natural cork |
| Cellaring/Ageing Potential | Remain in the barrel for 12-18 months, with one or two rackings off. The number of new barrels varies according to the appellation but on average is similar to the red wines with about 20% new oak. |
