Domaine de la Vougeraie Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru ‘Bel Air’ 2018
€95.00
Another historic wine from Domaine Vougeraie, at 350m and 15km south of Dijon, this parcel located in Gevrey-Chambertin, is right at the heart of the
Cote de Nuits. It nestles between two prestigious cousins – Les Ruchottes du Dessus to the north and le Chambertin-Clos-de-Beze, above which it sits.
The climat Bel Air extends over a large area at the top of the Côte , but the greater part of it although classified is not at present planted. Instead at the end of the 19th century woods were planted here, mainly to protect the vines from cold winds and frost.
Over 100 years ago one would hear talk of the Chateau Bel Air, standing dominant over the Grand Crus. The name Bel Air signifies an area where the air was purer than elsewhere, and they used to say that to take in the good air one would have to climb to the top of the Côte.
