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.
Chambolle-Musigny is an esteemed village in Burgundy known for producing elegant and refined red wines made from Pinot Noir grapes. While it is not classified as a Grand Cru appellation, Chambolle-Musigny is home to several Premier Cru vineyards that produce wines of exceptional quality and complexity.

Critics Ratings
‘Medium red. Superripe aromas of plum, cherry and smoky oak; as in so many other cellars, the fruit character is a bit roasted following the more floral '01s. Sweet and fat, with plum and smoky oak flavors. Very seductive, ripe Chambolle, but lacks the normal floral perfume and cut of this bottling.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (March 2003)
‘Exceptionally elegant, candied pinot fruit with rich, finely detailed flavors and good volume and length. A very fine villages that is quite vibrant.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound (Jan 2003)
