About this Item

2008 - 2010 Chambolle-Musigny
4 (1 x 4) 750ml

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.

Critics Ratings

2008

‘The 2008 Chambolle-Musigny is totally finessed and haunting. This shows tons of harmony in its crushed flowers, hard candy and berries, all of which flow gracefully towards the saline, mineral-drenched finish. With time in the glass the layers of fruit flesh out with notable beauty and elegance. The Chambolle is a classic, translucent wine in 2008, and will delight readers who prefer the nuanced side of Burgundy. Drinking window 2018 - 2028.’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, 92/100 (May 2011)

2009

‘De Vogüé's 2009 Chambolle-Musigny was even better, as the vintage is so well suited to near-term drinking, especially at the village level. Totally seductive and engaging, the 2009 Chambolle was a thrill a minute to drink. There are times when wine is all about pure, unrestrained pleasure. This was one of those moments. What a fabulous bottle!’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, 93/100 (Jun 2013)

2010

‘Bright medium red. Tangy raspberry aroma lifted by a hint of peppery acidity and a suggestion of white fruits. Precise and piercing, with brisk acidity and strong minerality currently dominating underlying red fruits and flowers. Wonderfully fresh and long but in need of some time in bottle. "Two thousand ten is great if you like minerality, the truth and freshness," noted winemaker Francois Millet. A splendid village wine with a future.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91+/100 (Mar 2013)
