It all began in 1964 when the first plot, Les Evocelles, was purchased. Five hectares planted around Gevrey-Chambertin. Then, the birth certificate of La Vougeraie was dated 1999. The family home was inherited from the lineage of Jean-Claude Boisset. Twenty years later, La Vougeraie was established in the Côte de Beaune and moved closer to Vougeot. First Charles and Nathalie Boisset bought the Clos du Prieuré, then with the first plot of Clos Vougeot, the Musigny, the Bonnes-Mares and the Charmes-Chambertin. Finally, the purchase of the Corton Clos-du-Roi and the Beaune-Grèves marked a step forward. With all these acquisitions, La Vougeraie became a signature estate of Vougeot, notably with its famous monopoly: Vougeot 1er Cru "Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot"

Guy de Maupassant had a taste for good wine, and often gave the characters in his novels the finest bottles to drink. In Bel-Ami, for example, “Duroy had found the Corton to his liking, and let his glass be filled every time. A delicious liveliness stole over him, a warm cheerfulness, that mounted from the stomach to the head, flowed through his limbs and penetrated him throughout. He felt himself wrapped in perfect comfort of life and thought, body and soul.”
