Pierre Vincent, who has been responsible for winemaking at this large estate since he succeeded Pascal Marchand in 2006, describes the 2014s as “elegant wines, riper and fruitier than the 2013s. ” Domaine de la Vougeraie started harvesting Pinot Noir on September 14, with the fruit coming in with around 12. 2% potential alcohol; the finished wines will be in the range of 12. 8%. Vincent vinified his Côte de Nuits cuvées with a high percentage of whole clusters (at least 50% for the premier crus and more for the grand crus). He told me he used 80% whole clusters for the Bonnes-Mares and that he might have vinified entirely with whole clusters had he had room in the tank for all of them. The village wines had been bottled a week before my December visit but the crus were still in barrel, slated for bottling in January.

Like many of his colleagues on the Côte d’Or, Vincent has been using steadily less new oak in recent years. Today, virtually all of the estate’s red wines get between 30% and 40% new oak, with a maximum of 50% for the grand crus. In 2015,in fact, he’s using the same breakdown of oak for all of his wines: one-third new, one-third one year old, and one-third two years old. “Too much new oak is boring,” he noted.
