We have chosen to use the word investment, not to advise you to buy this or that bottle in order to make a capital gain in a few years' time, but rather to invest in certain estates or appellations that will be more difficult to access financially in a few years' time.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A MICRO-APPELLATION<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Nestled between Chambolle Musigny and Flagey-Echezeaux (the village of the Vosne-Roman\u00e9e appellation), the wines of Vougeot owe their name to a small river that joins the Sa\u00f4ne, the Vouge. We call it a micro Appellation, because it's tiny in size and will hardly be able to grow between the famous clos-de-Vougeot and Musigny. Situated in the C\u00f4te-d'Or department, the vineyard covers 15.45 hectares of vines spread over a dozen winegrowers, with the distinctive feature that a third of the vines are white. An original feature for a C\u00f4tes de Nuit appellation. <\/span><\/p>\n

COMPLEX AND DEEP LIKE ITS NEIGHBORS<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Over 80% of the appellation's surface area is classified as Premier Cru or Grand Cru. It is rarer to find a \"Vougeot village\". Clos de Vougeot is a world-famous Grand Cru located right next to Vosne-Roman\u00e9e and Chambolle. Then there are the Premier Crus, with 4 climats (Clos de la Perri\u00e8re, Le Clos Blanc, Les Cr\u00e2s and Les Petits Vougeot). Vougeot's soils are shallow, brown limestone in the upper part, fine-textured limestone and marl and clay in the lower part, where the village appellation is located. As mentioned above, Vougeot wines are unique in that they are white wines, and have been since the creation of the appellation in 1936. Produced with the Chardonnay grape alone, the wines are dry, lively, mineral and very opulent on the palate. Whether white or red, Vougeot wines can be kept for a relatively long time. Depending on the climate, you can expect to enjoy them for 8 to 15 years... You'll just have to be patient.<\/span><\/p>\n
