Domaine Fabrice Vigot Description
One of the best-kept secrets in the historic Burgundy village of Vosne-Romanée is the husband and wife team of Fabrice and Christine Vigot. Their humble demeanor and low profile belie their outsized talent and influence on some of Vosne’s most famous Pinot Noir wines – and it is past time that their wines received the attention they’ve for so long deserved.
Most Burgundy collectors should know the name Mugneret-Gibourg. In the 1960s, Dr. Georges Mugneret hired Fabrice Vigot’s father to tend a number of his prized vineyards in a crop-sharing agreement, including grand cru Echezeaux and plots in Nuits-Saint-Georges and Vosne-Romanée. The contract was passed down to Fabrice, who with his wife, Christine, continued his father’s exacting work.
As of the 2016 vintage, however, the Vigots had to rescind their crop-sharing agreement with the Mugneret family, as a series of low-yielding vintages capped with the frost of 2016 pushed them to make a painful, yet necessary, financial choice. Today the family farms only their own vineyards, some six acres across Vosne, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Gevrey-Chambertin.
The Vigot family’s vines sit on the Vosne side of Nuits-Saint-Georges, located in two perfect parcels that were planted mostly in the 1950s. There’s a Vosne aromatic energy here, with a heady core of Nuits fruit and soul.
A selection from vineyards ‘Les Herbues’ and ‘Les Tuyaux,’ both on the Vosne side of the village. ‘Herbues’ was planted in the late 1950s, and ‘Tuyaux’ in 1949/1950.
Tasting Note: Aromas of red and black fruits, earthy notes, light pepper. Medium-bodied, structured, ripe tannins.
Wine Pairing: Roast lamb with herbs; aged French cheese; braised beef in sauce
