Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is a prestigious wine producer located in the Burgundy region of France. With a rich history dating back to the 15th century, this domaine has established itself as one of the most revered and sought-after producers of Burgundy wines, particularly their Musigny - Cuvée Vieilles Vignes - Grand Cru.

The domaine's history can be traced back to the Vogüé family, who acquired the estate in 1766. However, it was not until the 20th century that the domaine gained international recognition under the leadership of Comte Georges de Vogüé. Comte Georges was a visionary winemaker who understood the importance of preserving the traditions and terroir of Burgundy while embracing modern winemaking techniques.

The style of production at Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to producing wines that truly reflect the unique characteristics of the Musigny terroir. The domaine owns some of the oldest and most prized vineyards in the region, with vines that are over 50 years old. These old vines produce grapes of exceptional quality, which are hand-harvested and carefully sorted to ensure only the finest fruit is used in the winemaking process.

The winemaking process at Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is a delicate balance between tradition and innovation. The grapes are gently pressed and fermented in oak barrels, where they undergo a long and slow fermentation process. This allows the wines to develop complex flavors and aromas while retaining their natural freshness and elegance.

The Musigny - Cuvée Vieilles Vignes - Grand Cru is the flagship wine of Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé. It is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the Musigny vineyard, which is widely regarded as one of the finest terroirs in Burgundy. The wine is aged in oak barrels for a minimum of 18 months, followed by additional aging in the bottle before release.

The Musigny - Cuvée Vieilles Vignes - Grand Cru is a wine of exceptional quality and finesse. It is known for its intense aromas of red and black fruits, such as cherry, raspberry, and blackberry, as well as floral notes of violet and rose. On the palate, the wine is rich and

The 2017 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is showing very well indeed, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cherries, rose petal, warm spices and orange rind, framed by creamy new wood. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and velvety, with the greatest depth and dimension of any wine in the cellar, displaying excellent energy and completeness, and distinguished above all by striking length on the finish.
Exhibiting notes of sweet berries and cherries mingled with notions of rose petals, musk, blood orange and spices, this Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, satiny and perfumed, with excellent concentration, lively acid and sweet, supple tannins. Impressively sensual and effortless, it represents a very strong start for Jean Lupatelli, the estate's new régisseur.
The 2014 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru has a very intense, cold stone and blackberry-scented bouquet, moving towards subtle marine-like aromas (oyster shells, Crustacea) with time. There is just wonderful precision here. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip in the mouth, a firm backbone, and a slightly more masculine Musigny with just a hint of savoriness towards the long finish. This is showing great personality even at this early juncture, although of course, it will not even consider reaching its drinking plateau without 8-10 years in a bottle. I suspect this Musigny will only gradually open.
Comte de Vogüé’s Musigny Vieilles Vignes 2011 has a gorgeous bouquet that displays exquisite delineation and refinement: pure dark cherry, crème de cassis, wet stone and violet scents that are damn irresistible. The palate is medium-bodied with supple and ripe tannins. This is a suave and sophisticated, yet very youthful wine that has a lot of energy that suggests cellaring for another 5-6 years will be essential.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
