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.
Bonnes-Mares is one of the most esteemed Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy, situated in the communes of Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis. It is known for producing wines of exceptional quality and complexity, with a unique expression of terroir.

Critics Ratings
‘Good bright, dark red. Very pure aromas of briary blueberry and piquant herbs; slightly medicinal in its austerity. Dense, rich and sweet but tightly wound and austere, with dominant flavors of briary black fruits and earth. The most obviously tannic and medicinal of the estate's 2004s at this stage. Millet notes that de Vogue owns "an elegant part" of Bonnes-Mares. This will require extended aging.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92+/100 (Mar 2007)
