History of La Grande Cave de Vougeot
Recognisable by its iconic Virginia creeper-covered façade, the building we admire today once housed the wine press of a former wine estate nearly four centuries ago. Beneath this historic building lie remarkable vaulted cellars dating back to the 17th century, which extend beneath the village square of Vougeot.
A true symbol of the village, La Grande Cave is now one of the last remaining witnesses to a significant chapter in Burgundy’s history. Around 1850, Augustin Grangier acquired the former seigneurial estate and had an elegant manor house built there, which has since become known as the Château de Vougeot.
Today, these stone-vaulted cellars invite visitors on a journey back in time, into the heart of Burgundy’s living wine heritage. Beneath their centuries-old arches rest historic bottles, true guardians of the memory and traditions of an exceptional wine-growing region.
The 17th-century cellars also house a magnificent barrel room, where the iconic Burgundy pièces (traditional 228-litre oak barrels) are kept. They stand as precious witnesses to the craftsmanship and passion of Burgundy’s winemakers, past and present.
