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 greater Burgundy, de Vogüé for 20 generations has been steward of the village’s top terroirs. The estate owns some 80 percent of grand cru Le Musigny, and a significant portion of grand cru Bonnes-Mares. Its premier cru Chambolle-Musigny is crafted exclusively from younger-vine fruit in Musigny and its Musigny Blanc is crafted from younger-vine Chardonnay grown also in Musigny.
The style of de Vogüé is the epitome of Chambolle—delicate aromas, refined yet profound flavors, a finish made of silk. These are wines that come into their own not ten years down the line but 30; a cellar without a selection of de Vogüé is a cellar missing the soul of Burgundy.

The harvest finished here in Les Porlottes. Bright mid purple with concentration and energy on the nose, a velvety and violet scented Chambolle. Surprising (for the vintage) and delightful intensity, this looks first rate and joyously accessible Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Nov 2024.

Note: from <2 ha of vines in the upper southwest portion of the commune that includes some declassified 1ers from Les Baudes and Fuées. A wonderfully fresh and ripe nose speaks primarily cool red berries, spice and a pretty floral top note. There is a lovely sense of volume and punch to the supple and delicious flavors that flash surprisingly good power on the impressively long bitter pit fruit-inflected finish where the only nit is a touch of warmth.*Burghound Outstanding!*
