How to sell

COMTES GEORGES DE VOGUE

This famous estate owns 70 per centof the Grand Cru Musigny and nearly a fifth of Bonnes Mares. Its wines are made under and around the same fifteenth-century house in Chambolle which was inhabited - perhaps even built - by an ancestor of the present owners. Few estates in Burgundy have held their vineyard lands so long

The estate also owns 0.4 ha of Chardonnay vines in Musigny, potentially the only white Grand Cru from the Côte de Nuits, though it is labelled as Borgogne Blanc (there is no AOC Chambolle-Musigny Blanc, either at village or 1er Cru level). Production is miniscule, approximately 100 cases per year
