About this Item
Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is one of the most famous producers in Burgundy. Its lineage dates back to the mid-1400s. The Musigny vines themselves were first mentioned in 1528. The family is part of the history of Chambolle-Musigny, where they produce elegant, highly-collectable and long-ageing Pinot Noirs. The estate has around 70% of its land in the Le Musigny Grand Cru vineyard and 2.7 hectares of Bonnes-Mares. Vines are also held in the famous Les Amoureuses Premier Cru vineyard, as well as Les Baudes and Les Fuées. De Vogüé is rare in that it is one of the only domaines in Burgundy that can trace its history so far back in the region's timeline.
Critics Ratings
‘While there is a hint of reduction present on the otherwise spicy and somber red berry fruit-suffused nose, there is only a hint of herbal tea and certainly none of the reviled 'green meanie' character. I like the intensity and detail to the delicious middle weight flavors that retain a fine sense of precision along with plenty of minerality on the lingering and well-balanced finale. What is missing, at least at present, relative to my original review is that this has not developed the level of depth that it usually does after 12 years of age. Granted this example is in magnum and thus still young and to that end I would suggest holding this at least another 8 to 10 years. In short, this is a very good 2004 but it's not at its usual level. Tasted twice in the last year from large format with consistent results’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 92/100 (Jul 2017)
