The Story

The Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is inextricably linked to the Grand Cru vineyard of Musigny—in some eyes the pinnacle of Pinot Noir—a wine that should be both complete and profound but never heavy: 'majesty itself' claims Clive Coates. In 2009 Millet started picking on September 9 in order to keep as much as freshness as possible. The fruit was 100% destemmed. New oak ranged from 15% for the Chambolle villages to 35-40% for the Bonnes Mares...

Written Notes

Fine-looking bottle. Decanted for one hour. Excellent, youthful colour. Powerful, open and intense nose. Balanced and already very accessible. Loads of dark and red berries with exotic spices and hints of smoke on the palate. This has grand cru weight and expression. Very classy and uncompromising in style. Finish is refined with a rather sweet, feminine exit of raspberry, ripe red cherry and aromas with spicy mushrooms. Very sexy and charismatic wine with extensive and gracious future.

  • 97p

At 30 years old, this is still a vigorous wine. Fragrant, especially on the nose and on the finish, it showed a little structure on the attack, but this mellowed after half an hour in the glass to offer a wine of richness, succulence and grip. Most impressive !
