DOMAINE COMTE GEORGE DE VOGUE
Chambolle-Musigny
Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is unique as it can trace its history all the way back to the 15th century. The same year James Christie held his first auction in 1766 the vineyards were inherited into the de Vogüé family. Since then the Domaine has remained in the hands of the same family by inheritance or marriage. De Vogüé is unique in that they only make wines from Chambolle-Musigny. All vineyards are grown in a more or less organic way, though this is not indicated on the label or certified. More than 12.5ha are owned. The main Grand Crus are Musigny and Bonnes-Mares.
Bonnes-Mares
While driving south from Morey-Saint-Denis the Bonnes-Mares vineyard is on your right and starts where Clos de Tart finishes. It continues until just before you enter the Chambolle-Musigny village.
Of the 15.06 hectares only a small part lies in Morey-Saint-Denis, 1.52ha. There used to be a part of Bonnes-Mares located within the Clos de Tart wall, this was rectified in 1965.
Bonnes-Mares is mostly a Chambolle-Musigny grand cru though being located at the north side of the village it’s distinctively different from Musigny in the south. In fact it’s closer to Chambertin in soil and style. In total there are 25 owners. There is little soil, the vines grow mostly on the rock.
With 2.70ha Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is by far the largest owner of this highly regarded grand cru vineyard. The de Vogüé part is almost one block on the Chambolle side down slope alongside the road, the soil here is red clay.
Musigny
A Musigny wine is elegant as lace, generous as a bouquet of flowers and vigorous. The aromas are complex and take years to truly reveal themselves. After a long aging the wine presents layer after layer of red and black fruits, spices and finally a perfume of licorice. With a very long aftertaste, Musigny will sing on your tongue leaving you in silent admiration. The true heights of organoleptic pleasure are here. The tannin structure is so different from the other Chambolle-Musigny grand cru, Bonnes Mares. Strength and power all in a velvet grove. In character Musigny is closer to Les Amoureuses then to Bonnes Mares further north.
To the North is Le Musigny or Les Grands Musigny, this is bordered to the west by the forest and on the right by Les Amoureuses. Les Grands Musigny has hardly any soil, the vines virtually grow on the rocks. Les Petits-Musigny is located just south of Le Musigny and faces the Clos Vougeot to the east, this part is solely owned by Comte de Vogüé. The southern border of Musigny is located at the foot of the Combe d’ Orveaux.
In quality there is little difference between the two parts of Musigny. The wines from Les Petits-Musigny tend to be a touch more structured.
The soil is quite varied and different from the grand crus of Morey. Bathonian limestone on the upper slope and Comblanchien further down, with a relatively small top soil of red clay with gravel. There is less magnesium here which is quite different from Bonnes-Mares.
Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is the principal owner of Musigny, 7.12ha is owned from a total of 10.85ha. It’s not for nothing that on old de Vogüé bottles it says: Domaine des Musigny.
The vieilles vignes part, of vines older than 25 years, is 5,67ha. The oldest vines date from 1953. Til the sixties there were two Musigny cuvees, one for the old vines and one from the younger vines.
From 1995 onwards the Musigny from vines younger than 25 years old are bottled as Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru. As the average age is increasing there will be less of this wine, possibly up to the point that it’s all Musigny vieilles vignes.
If there was to be contest for the top 10 wines in the world a Comte de Vogüé Musigny from a great vintage would definitely be on the short list. Musigny is the epitome of elegance and subtle energy. A de Vogüé Musigny takes about 10 to 20 years to show its true character and charm. However your patience will greatly be rewarded.
