99 Wine Spectator
A classy, monumental wine, with an impressive deep color and spellbinding complexity. The concentration takes your breath away as the plum, blackberry, raspberry and vanilla flavors coat your palate. Try in 1998. 500 cases made. ?
90 Robert Parker
While the Bonnes Mares is closed, the dark ruby/purple color and the wine's terrific potential are evident. Full-bodied, with a blossoming, black-cherry nose complemented by a judicious use of toasty new oak, this wine exhibits wonderful richness, excellent definition and structure, and a long, dense, concentrated finish. Anticipated maturity: 1997-2010.
Producer
Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüe
Comtes de Vogüé is one of the most celebrated producers in the Côte d'Or. Located in Chambolle-Musigny, it dates back to 1450 when Jean Moisson constructed the original building. The property has remained in the original family since - even through the French Revolution when they went into exile in England. In 1766, a female descendant married Cerice-Melchior de Vogüé. It is from this line that the domaine took its name. Its more modern history started in 1925 when the Comte Georges de Vogüé took over and designed the label. Today, the domaine is in the hands of his granddaughters and run by three individuals - Eric Bourgogne, vineyard manager; François Millet, head of winemaking; and Jean-Luc Pépin, sales and marketing. The domaine owns an incredible amount of Musigny - 7.2 hectares (over 6.55 hectares planted to red and another 0.65 hectares to white) out of a total surface of 10.85 hectares, making them the largest landowners. Their Bonnes Mares is also one of the most sought after in the region.
