The wine region of Vougeot
Vougeot is a small, 88-hectare (217-acre) commune in the heart of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits sub-region. The tiny Village, wedged between Vosne-Romanée to the South and Chambolle-Musigny to the North, is dominated by 51 hectares (126 acres) of Grand Cru Vineyard: the iconic Clos de Vougeot. The remainder is given over four Premier Cru sites and a tiny enclave of basic, village-level Vougeot The main site - the Clos de Vougeot vineyard and its attendant château buildings - covers three quarters of vineyard land in the Central and southern portion of the appellation. However, much like Echezeaux nearby, its Size has diluted its reputation and most commentators recommend acquiring wines from known plots within the clos or from well-regarded producers here.
