The Story

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé has remained by inheritance in the same family since 1450. Twenty generations enlarged and enriched this family estate whose stewardship continues with Claire de Causans and Marie de Ladoucette. They themselves are grand-daughters of the legendary Comte Georges de Vogüé who inherited the estate in 1925 and ran it for over 50 years; His daughter Elisabeth, Baronne Bertrand de Ladoucette, managed the estate from the early 1980s until 2002, and it was under her tenure that was established the new executive team that exists today - Eric
Bourgogne, Chef de Culture in 1996, François Millet, Maître de Chai and Oenologue in
1986, and Jean-Luc Pépin, Sales Director in 1988.

The apex of Millet’s portfolio at Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is the 7 hectares of Musigny Grand Cru. Great care is taken with the production of the noble grape, with only the oldest vines — a total of 3.8 hectares — used to produce wine with the most consistency and depth of character. In most vintages only 900 or so cases of the Musigny comes to market; the result is a wine to be sought out and treasured.

Millet works alongside Jean-Luc Pepin, who runs the Domaine and Eric Bourgogne, who tends the vines. It is a triumvirate that produces outstanding results vintage upon vintage and has enabled the domaine to recover its reputation in recent years. In 1925 the estate was inherited by the Comte Georges de Vogüé and, until the early 60’s, fabulous wines were crafted from the plots under his ownership in Chambolle. The Comte’s absence from Burgundy in the 60’s and 70’s saw quality levels slide and it is the current team that have maintained a celebrated level of quality under the ownership of the Comte’s granddaughters since the early 80’s. Winemaking at the Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is like a conversation, with the wines matching Millet’s lyrical poeticism with structure, energy and a complex cornucopia of flavours.

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 Domaine deems this to be too young for grand cru and consequently declassifies the De Vogüé Musigny Blanc to Bourgogne Blanc
The De Vogüé Vieilles Vignes red Musigny holdings comprise 6.6 hectares, planted on limestone. The average age of vines is forty years while 2.8ha of younger vines are declassified to Chambolle 1er Cru to retain old vine complexity in the grand vin .

Written Notes

Three wines from 1947 led the procession of red Burgs, beginning with a 1947 Vogue Musigny Vieilles Vignes. It had a deep nose with lots of citrus smack, barn, cracker and autumnal brown sugar. Its palate was a bit thinner than I expected with more citrus than anything else. The Rev summed it up succinctly as ‘not exceptional,’ although other bottles over the years have been for me (93).
