2020 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue, Musigny, Grand Cru Cuvee Vieilles Vignes (2)

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is a historic estate based in Chambolle-Musigny, where the family has managed their vineyards for over 500 years and twenty generations. This wine is made from Pinot Noir grown in the heart of the Musigny Grand Cru, where vines averaging over 40 years old are rooted in thin topsoils over limestone and red clay. The 2020 bottling offers focused notes of black fruit, violet, and saline minerals, held together by a refined, silky texture and a firm structural backbone. A warm, dry growing season provided the fruit with significant concentration and ripeness, ensuring the wine maintains both power and clarity. This is a serious, long-term proposition that is best suited for the cellar, where it will continue to evolve and gain complexity for decades.
