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
‘The 2011 Chambolle-Musigny is a pretty, accessible wine, but today I get the impression the 2011 may be headed for a period of dormancy. The relaxed, easygoing personality of the vintage is in evidence, but the fruit isn't as generous or resonant as it was a years ago. I have seen the villages blossom with few years of bottle age, though, so I would give the 2011 time in bottle.’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 91/100 (Mar 2014)
‘The 2011 Chambolle-Musigny Village has a fragrant, voluminous bouquet with plush red cherries intermingling with black currant and a touch of cassis. The palate is sweet on the entry with pure black cherry and cassis fruit. The tannins are fine and underpin a linear Chambolle-Musigny: quite conservative in style with sappy black fruit defining the finish. Drink now-2018.’ – Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (Aug 2013)
‘Deep crimson – deeper than most. Real savour on the nose. On the palate still rather simple though there is a lot of matière here. Wait!’ – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5+/20 (Nov 2012)
