Vougeot 1er Cru 'Stephane Brocard' by Closerie des Alisiers is produced in the Côte de Nuits, one of the most suitable parcels in Burgundy. The terroir is characterized by clay-limestone soils which give the grapes a beautiful aromatic complexity and an extraordinarily elegant structure. From pure Pinot Noir grapes processed without chemical or synthetic substances, in the cellar the fermentations take place in wooden containers and the refinement for 15 months in partly new oak barrels. Elegant and intense bouquet, with hints of dark berry fruit such as plums and cherries, followed by floral hints of violet and a spiciness with notes of liquorice on the finish. Structured and fine, fruit notes, fresh floral and spicy notes. Fresh and persistent with velvety tannins.

Stephane Brocard, son of Jean Marc Brocard, a well-known Chablis winemaker, settled in Marsannay, in the north of the Côte de Nuits, in 2007. Here he founded the Maison Stephane Brocard and his brand of hand-selected wines, Closerie des Alisiers. In addition to his work in his vineyards in Pommard and the old village of Daix, he has been working for years with the same winemakers and the same soils for the wines he produces.
His philosophy is to produce genuine and authentic wines with the utmost respect for the environment. He seeks purity, fruit and freshness. The range includes the regional, village, premium Cru and Grand Cru appellations of Burgundy, from Chablis to Mâconnais, passing through many of the best appellations of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. Stéphane Brocard seeks to highlight terroirs through Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grape varieties.
Recently he has also introduced a selection of organic wines. His company has obtained the organic farming certificate.
Closérie des Alisiers owns 2 hectares in Pommard and Daix (north of the Côte de Nuits). For the production of wines with the Closérie des Alisiers label, it has various production partners for the different appellations.
