Domaine de la Vougeraie is a biodynamically farmed Burgundian estate, bringing together plots spread across several villages in the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. Its Clos du Prieuré cuvée in Vougeot AOP illustrates this pursuit of plot-specific expression, here in a white wine, a rare format for this predominantly red appellation.
