2020 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue Musigny Grand Cru Blanc #900531553
(95-97)
Vinous
Reviews 95-97 points Vinous "The 2020 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Blanc turned out to be my favourite cuvee in this vintage. It has a very typical nose for this label: white peach, honeysuckle and lanolin, just a touch of camomile emerging with time. The palate is smooth and slight viscous quite phenolic, ginger and lemongrass, almost Condrieu-like towards the finish that feels expansive and quite delicious. (NM)" 95 points John Gilman "... offers up a beautiful nose of apple, sweet quince, a touch of fresh pineapple, a beautiful base of soil tones, beeswax, white lilies and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied and vibrant, with a lovely core, fine soil signature and grip and a long, zesty and beautifully balanced finish. (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.
