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.
Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé was founded by Jean Moisson in 1450 and has passed through 20 generations of the same family to the current owners today. It ranks amongst the very best houses in Burgundy and owns some of the most sought-after parcels. The domaine owns 7.25 hectares of Le Musigny vineyard which is 70% of the entire grand cru. In addition, they also own some vineyards of Bonnes-Mares and Chambolle-Musigny.
Critics Ratings
(from young vines in Musigny) Medium red. Lovely floral/mineral aromas of raspberry, orange peel and crushed stone. At once fat and sappy, with bright acids giving the red raspberry and mineral flavors an almost painful intensity and superb aromatic precision. A classic, juicy Chambolle bottling with superb life and verve. And, as in most years, the relative bargain in the de Vogue collection.' - Stephen Tanzer Vinous.com 92+/100 (2007)
