About this Item

Chambolle-Musigny, 1999
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

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

'The Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru 1999 is deep in color. It has a lovely savory bouquet with hints of Italian cured meats and bacon fat intermingling with briary scents, all with really impressive intensity. The palate is full-bodied and well balanced. There is clearly a bit of sinew here. Truffle and sappy black fruit form the second half with a saline note urging another sip toward the finish. This punches above my expectations, though I would be tempted to keep bottles down in the bunker for another three or four years. Like many 1999s, this is in for the long haul.’ - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 93/100 (Apr 2015)

‘Deep, bright red-ruby. Perfumed, fruit-driven aromas of black cherry, cassis, raspberry and flowers. Full, sweet and deep, with impressive volume and breadth. Began a bit closed in the middle, but opened to show a wonderfully lush texture. Finishes very long and fresh, with dusty, even tannins and solid structure. This is all Musigny, from the estate vines less than 25 years old. The best value in the cave.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91/100 (Mar 2002)

‘Beautiful and structured, with plenty of fruit to back it up. Medium- to full-bodied, this displays deep color, good acidity and blackberries and cherries. Long finish, with plenty of silkiness and mineral. Class in a glass.’ - Wine Spectator, 90/100 (Feb 2002)
