2007 Vogue Musigny

Highly regarded as the greatest estate in Chambolle Musigny, Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue traces back to 1450. Today the Domaine is headed by its 20th generation, Claire de Causans and Marie de Ladoucette, the granddaughters of the late Comte Georges de Vogue.

 

What sets them apart from the rest? Well, it’s the spectacular parcel of Musigny that they own – 7.2 hectares (ha), which amounts to 70% of the entire grand cru. Given that many Burgundy aficionados consider Musigny to be the finest vineyard of them all, that’s a holding to die for. In addition, the estate is the largest owner within another grand cru, Bonnes-Mares. 

 

The blending of tradition and modernity in winemaking at Vogüé has resulted in wines that are revered by critics and wine lovers around the world. These wines have long been the reference point for Musigny and enthusiasts say these are some of the most ethereal, complex and elegant wines in all of Burgundy.

The step up in class is unmistakable with gorgeously complex, even kaleidoscopic and superbly elegant red, black and violet aromas trimmed with a dazzling array of spices, earth and a hint of smoke that adds unmistakable luster to the round, intense, muscular and exceptionally stylish broad-scaled flavors that possess excellent power and a building intensity that develops from the mid-palate to the explosive yet seductive finish. I really like the purity of expression here on the sappy and mineral-infused finish that has a dusty quality from all of the dry extract that coats the firm tannins. This is a big '07 built on a base of firm minerality but it remains impeccably well balanced and should live for decades so patience is definitely a virtue if you are a potential buyer. -Allen Meadows, 95 points

 

Smoked meat and salt-, kelp-, and iodine-laced maritime mineral overlays to the sweetly ripe berry and pit fruit concentrate of de Vogue’s 2007 Musigny Vieilles Vignes make for a Pinot as intriguing as it is eager to caress and please. Plush, polished, and possessed of formidable sheer sap, it displays an energy and interplay seldom revealed in this vintage. A mineral savor of crustacean shell reduction keeps pace with nearly candied sweetness of berry fruit -- and keeps you salivating uncontrollably -- all the way to a distant finishing line. -Robert Parker, 95 points

 

The 2010 Comte de Vogüé Musigny is a beautiful wine in the making, as it soars from the glass in an aristocratic mélange of red and black cherries, blood orange, raw cocoa, stunningly complex minerality, a bit of raspberry, mustard seed, coffee, dried violets and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and youthfully tight, with a sappy core of fruit, outstanding transparency, tangy acids, ripe, well-integrated tannins and outstanding length and grip on the very minerally finish. A beautiful and utterly classic bottle of Comte de Vogüé Musigny in the making. -John Gilman, 95-97 points
