Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue Description
With more than 500 years of history and the lion’s share of one of Burgundy’s most hallowed grand crus, Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is a cornerstone of Burgundian legend and a vinous dream for modern connoisseurs. Certainly the greatest estate in Chambolle-Musigny if not in all of Burgundy, Vogüé for 20 generations has been steward of the village’s top terroirs. The style of Vogüé is the epitome of ChambolleMusigny: delicate aromas, refined yet profound flavors, a finish made of silk. These are wines that dazzle not just 10 years down the line but more than 30; a cellar without a selection of Comte de Vogüé is a cellar missing the true soul of Burgundy.
Vinous: 99 Points
I tasted the 2023 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru both as components from the seven different cuvées that make the final blend and as an approximation of the final blend itself. This has exquisite delineation on the nose: blackberry, raspberry, crushed stone and touches of undergrowth - very harmonious. The palate is medium-bodied, tightly wound and linear, with a sense of symmetry on eh entry. But of all the Musigny tasted from barrel in 2023, this has perhaps the most nascent freshness, tension and complexity on the finish. A sense of completeness. Outstanding.
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
The 2023 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru, which we tasted from a variety of sub-parcels, is very promising, mingling aromas of dark berries and cherries with notions of orange zest, rose petals, incense and iris. Medium to full-bodied, cool and layered, with a rich core of fruit framed by ultra-refined tannins, it's suave and harmonious, with a long, fragrant finish. This accomplished Musigny only confirms that de Vogüé is performing on a high level today.
Burghound: 96 Points
A more restrained if just as pretty and equally perfumed nose displays a similar array of red and dark cherry, exotic jasmine tea and dried orange peel along with hints of menthol and sandalwood. On the palate the broad-shouldered and even more concentrated flavors manage the trick of being more powerful but also more refined with an almost aggressive minerality that seems to build in intensity on the compact, youthfully austere and massively long finale. This is however exceptionally firm and is very much a 'buy and forget you own it' wine. In a word, superb.
