2021 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue, Musigny Grand Cru, Cuvee Vieilles Vignes

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé meticulously stewards its ancestral 7.2-hectare holding within Musigny Grand Cru, practicing sustainable viticulture with extensively ploughed, dry-farmed vines averaging 40 years of age. Winemaker Jean Lupatelli’s approach incorporates 50% whole cluster fermentation in open wooden vats with natural yeasts, specifically designed to capture the site's authentic expression. This hallowed Burgundian Grand Cru in Chambolle-Musigny is defined by its thin topsoils over active limestone, granting the Pinot Noir profound mineral drive. The 2021 vintage, marked by a cooler growing season and naturally low yields, yielded a classically structured wine with vibrant, fresh acidity and finely-grained, well-defined tannins. This architectural precision and inherent tension define its long-term potential.
