Description
Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé owns and cultivates vineyards in the most prestigious terroirs in Burgundy. Their most important vineyard is Musigny, a Grand Cru vineyard in Chambolle-Musigny. Musigny is celebrated for producing exceptional Pinot Noir and is often considered one of the best vineyards in all of Burgundy. The Comte de Vogüé vineyards benefit from a unique combination of limestone and marl soils, which are ideal for Pinot Noir. The careful management of the vineyards and attention to terroir expression contribute to the distinctive character of their wines. The domain practices traditional and non-interventionist wine production methods. The grapes are harvested by hand, carefully sorted and fermented in open wooden barrels. The wines are then aged in French oak barrels for a longer period of time, typically around 18-24 months depending on the vintage. Of the 7.2 hectares in Musigny Grand Cru, 0.65 hectares are planted with Chardonnay. A special and rare white wine is made from this. This Musigny blanc is perhaps the rarest and unique white Grand Cru from Burgundy. Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is also the only one allowed to produce white wine from this.
This wine comes from a Premier Cru vineyard called "Les Bonnes Mares", located on the border of Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis. Wines from this vineyard often have a more robust character with notes of dark fruit and herbs. The Vogüé Bonnes Mares comes from no less than 2.7 hectares on red clay soils and is always the most structured and 'masculine' wine of the domain. It is dark and intense, with scents of violets and blueberries. The wine has a soft, concentrated taste, stylish 35% new wood and the depth and concentration to age. Rich and very attractive.
FACT : The wine is stored in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you pick up the wine you will often receive a nice discount. You will immediately see the possible discount if you choose Pickup in the Checkout page. We are almost next to the Rijksweg with plenty of parking. Click here for address.

The 2015 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru is really blossoming now that the wine is safely in bottle. It has a gorgeous, floral bouquet with scents of blueberry, blackberry and briary, wonderful mineral expression here with a palpable sense of energy and precision. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, what you might call a "cool" Bonnes Mares, sleek and sensual with very fine tension towards the red cherry and kirsch tinged finish. What a gorgeous Bonnes-Mares, though I would be inclined to afford it several years in bottle. Tasted November 2016.
I arrived in Chambolle-Musigny and pulled into the large courtyard at de Vogüé in the middle of a torrential downpour, though that did not dampen my anticipation tasting their 2014s and 2013s with the ever-philosophical François Millet. "The winter was very mild, followed by an early bud burst and flowering. We thought we would pick very early. The summer was bad, mild and rainy, but the advantage was that it slowed down the advance [of the growing cycle] and preserved the freshness of the vintage. September was easier with some showers. We picked on September 13 with the young vines in Musigny." "The vintage is quite welcoming," he continued. "I find a lot of compromises: medium freshness, not too much, just enough. The skin ripeness is medium, which gives you a possibility to play with red and black fruit that enlarge the aromatic spectrum. I would compare it to springtime, when air is beginning to warm up and the land is still cold, a subtle contrast between the reminiscence of the winter and the start of springtime. I find there is a subtlety with depth. There is a romantic side of the vintage connected with the warm spring. We had the same climatic conditions in 2007 and 2011. The heat of the vintage comes from the springtime. 2014 can be quite harsh if forced. The subtlety of the sensuous contrast between sweetness and freshness can be quickly damaged if it is forced or over-extracted. The vintage was unique in terms of weather conditions -- it was upside down in some ways. We had a hailstorm on June 28 and we lost 10% to 20%, more in Musigny than other vineyards." This is always a fascinating tasting. For me, the Chambolle-Musigny Amoureuses was the star of the show, at least at this early juncture, actually more expressive than the linear and surprisingly tertiary Bonnes-Mares. The Musigny Vieilles Vignes was actually more difficult to read, but I think there is a great wine here, one intent on coveting its virtues for now, only revealing them for those with the wherewithal to wait a decade. As I have mentioned in previous reports, I used to find the winemaking too conspicuous at de Vogüé, but in recent vintages I have found the terroirs more articulated, thereby differentiating the cuvées to a greater degree.

From: The Consistently Delectable 2014 Red Burgundies (Jan 2016)
Bright, dark red with ruby highlights. Brooding aromas of blueberry, blackberry, cassis, licorice, menthol and black pepper, plus a touch of bitter chocolate; compared to the wines of Roumier and Arnoux that I tasted earlier the same day, these wines struck me as more Cabernet-like in their black fruit and licorice character, and yet this is the only set of the three made entirely from destemmed fruit. Powerful, gripping wine with strong acidity framing the classically dry flavors of dark berries, minerals, flowers, bitter chocolate and leather. Finishes saline and long, with a firm tannic spine. Showing the serious side of the vintage.
- By Stephen Tanzer on November 2015
After experiencing summer in spring and a very early flowering, we anticipated an August harvest, said François Millet."But the rainy, mild, uninteresting summer slowed down the vegetation. Early September brought better weather but we had to navigate through showers." The estate harvested between September 13 and 20 with potential alcohol levels of 12% or 12. 1% but Millet did very little chaptalization and the finished wines will not exceed 12. 5%."I do not agree that a Burgundy needs to have 13% alcohol to have longevity," he pointed out."The 2014 vintage is like springtime, and a full degree of added sugar would have warmed the year."
Two thousand fourteen, he summarized, "is spectacular because it's not spectacular. It's a serene vintage but not a short-term vintage. It's both serious and romantic, with a nice balance of sweetness and freshness, but it doesn't have the enormous minerality of 2013."

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, often simply called Comte de Vogüé, is one of the most prestigious and respected wine estates in France's Burgundy region. This estate is known for producing some of the best Pinot Noir wines, particularly from the Grand Cru vineyard of Musigny.
History of Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé
The history of the estate dates back to the end of the 14th century, when Jean Moisson, a winemaker, began planting vineyards in Musigny. The property was later acquired by the de Vogüé family in 1766 and has remained in their possession for generations. The addition of "Comte" (Count) to the family name reflects their noble origins. The de Vogüé family has a long and impressive history in the region. Throughout its history, the domain has upheld the traditions of Burgundian wine production. It has focused on preserving Musigny's unique terroir and character, while adapting where necessary using modern viticultural practices.
The estate has been owned by the de Vogüé family for centuries. Today, Claire de Causans, together with her cousins Marie de Ladoucette and François Millet, manages the domain and ensures the continuation of the valued tradition. Comte de Vogüé is considered one of Burgundian's "Holy Trinity" of wineries, along with Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Domaine Leroy. The estate's wines are highly regarded not only for their quality, but also for their rarity and limited production, making them among the most coveted producers in the wine world.
