Reviews 93 points Burghound "Opaque. Here too the nose is exuberantly spicy and floral with its aromas of poached plum, cassis and black raspberry. There is excellent intensity to the tautly muscular larger-scaled flavors that also brim with a borderline pungent minerality on the impressively rich, powerful, complex and persistent finale. 2020, along with the 2019, is one of the best vintages of this wine in recent memory. (AM)" 93 points John Gilman " The young vine Musigny bottling of Premier Cru is quite structured in 2020, but has fine potential buried underneath. The bouquet delivers scents of black cherries, dark berries, woodsmoke, gamebird, a lovely base of soil tones an vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is primary, deep and full, with a rock solid core of fruit, good soil undertow, firm, chewy tannins and a long, tangy finish. Good juice in the making, but patience will be required. (JG)"

About Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue
With over 500 years of history, Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue is a revered Burgundy estate, especially renowned for its superior Pinot Noir. Anchoring its prestige in Chambolle-Musigny, the estate's consistency in creating high-quality, elegant wines is truly impressive.
The estate owns prestigious Grand Cru vineyards including, Musigny, Bonnes-Mares, and others. Notably, it possesses a majority, around 70%, of the revered Musigny vineyard, an unusual feat among Burgundy estates.
The estate's wines are celebrated for their depth and texture. The Pinot Noirs are known for their smoothness and opulence, while the limited Musigny Blanc adds an elegant touch. The Bonnes-Mares wines are appreciated for their richness and structure, offering a delightful contrast to the traditional Musigny wines' vibrant sophistication.
Though not officially organic, the estate promotes biodiversity with methods like horse plowing and using organic compost. The winemaking process, led by François Millet, depends on vintage conditions and fruit maturity rather than a fixed formula. He favors natural yeasts, minimum sulfur, and mostly destemmed fermentation in large wooden vats. Maturation involves 15% new French oak for village wines and up to 35% for grand crus, ensuring the terroir's prominence. The wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving authenticity.
Offering a unique exploration of Burgundy's soul, Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue's wines encapsulate exceptional terroir and meticulous craftsmanship, earning their place in any discerning wine collection.
