Wine Information

Le Musigny Grand Cru is a truly exceptional vineyard. The northern area is marginally the larger whilst the southern part is the monopole of Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé. 
This contains the small, 0.6 hectare parcel of Chardonnay, on a mix of limestone and gravel, with which the Domaine elects to make their celebrated white wine. Due to a relatively recent replanting programme, the vines are currently on average, fourteen 14 years old. The ...

Vintage 2015

The 2015 Harvest by Clive Coates MW

The bad news is Chablis. In the early hours of Tuesday 1st September a severe storm hit the Chablis area. From Irancy up to the grands crus of Blanchots and Les Clos a swathe of hail – some hailstones as large as golf balls – has affected some 100 hectares of the vineyard. In all 97 mm of rain fell in six hours. The weather then cleared, threatening rot, and most growers rushed out to harvest before it wa...

Written Notes

Like the Amoureuses this too is kaleidoscopically spicy with its broad-ranging nose of red cherry, cassis, plum, violet, Asian-style tea, sandalwood and hoisin. The velvety and mouth coating imposingly-scaled and intense mineral-driven flavors are also blessed with seemingly endless reserves of dry extract that coat the palate on the highly seductive finish that delivers fantastically good length on the youthfully austere, backward and immaculately well-balanced finale. This too is going to require a very long snooze in a very cool cellar but it should be a remarkable Musigny when it emerges. 95-98 points

Producer note:
 Resident enologist François Millet described the 2015 vintage as one that had a "relatively straightforward growing season with an extremely dry and hot June and July. The leaves were beginning to turn brown on their edges but there was just enough rain in August to revive the vines and re-equilibrate the fruit. We chose to begin picking on the 3rd of September and I'm glad that we chose to harvest on the earlier side as the fruit was clearly ripe and in a hot vintage like 2015, it was super important to preserve the freshness and supporting acidity. Moreover the fruit was exceptionally clean though yields were on the low side at between 20 to 25 hl/ha. Given how clean and ripe the fruit was the vinifications were relatively simple and just as it was with the picking date, I did everything I could to preserve the freshness. As to the wines at this point in their evolution, I believe we succeeded in preserving that sense of freshness as they're energetic and while they have excellent concentration, they're not the least bit heavy; plus they have that natural sweetness that makes them highly seductive. They should age well for a very long time if that's how people want to drink them." I was most impressed with the de Vogüé 2015s and in particular the Musigny; it should eventually prove to be one of the great wines of the vintage. The 2014s, revisited below, were bottled between January and March 2016
