More Information
COMTE GEORGES DE VOGÜÉ
Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé has remained by inheritance in the same family since 1450. Today, it is run by the two granddaughters of Comte Georges de Vogüé, Claire de Causans and Marie de Ladoucette. Among the Domaine’s wines, their Musigny is the pinnacle and probably the most sought-after. Since 1989 the Domaine has been run by the estate manager Jean-Luc Pépin, winemaker François Millet (who became the wine maker in 1985) and Eric Bourgogne overseeing the vineyards.
The Domaine owns an incredible 7.12 hectares of the fabled Le Musigny vineyard which constitutes 80% of the whole site. The average age of vines in Le Musigny is over 40 years old and is labeled as Vieilles Vignes. Le Musigny comprises of two sections which are divided by a path, with the northern part known as Grand Musigny and the southern part Les Petits Musigny. Yields are very low, the grapes are completely destemmed, and fermentation takes place with temperature control to ensure that it does not exceed 32 degrees. The percentage of new oak varies from between 15% for their village wines to 45% for their Grand Cru Musigny and Bonnes Mares. The Domaine is considered amongst the very best in Burgundy and produces rich, perfumed and deliciously complex wines that can age for half a century or more.
