THE PRODUCER
Originally dating back to 1450, the estate was acquired by the de Vogue family
in 1766. Comte Georges de Vogue took over in 1925 and lead the estate into fame
in following decades. The current generation of winemaker and vignerons have the
estate in top form, universally considered one of the great estates of Burgundy.

The name of the Comte de Vogue became synonymous with that of Chambolle-Musigny
perhaps because they hold 7.25ha of the total 10.7ha of Le Musigny itself, and
2.75ha of Bonnes-Mares with a further 1.8ha of Premier Cru.

The Comtes de Vogue labels a great wine under the Premier Cru banner from young
Grand Cru vines, and perceivably de-classified Grand Cru wines, that is
basically a mini-Musigny. They also bottle an extremely rare Musigny Blanc.

THE WINE
Comte Georges de Vogue is the largest landowner in the Musigny Grand Cru, with
7.25 hectares, thus owning 70% of the entire grand cru. This is a truly fine
expression of Pinot Noir, more structured than the Bonnes Mares and with an
almost ethereal purity and minerally focused texture and finish. Musigny never
sees more than one third new oak, thus preserving the wine’s compelling
transparency.

CRITICS SCORES
We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
