92 Robert Parker
The 2011 Musigny Vieille Vignes Grand Cru was picked around mid-harvest during the first week of September. It has a more floral bouquet compared to the Bonnes-Mares with scents of dried rose petals and a touch of violet infusing the dark cherry and pomegranate fruit profile. The palate is supple in texture, lithe in the mouth with fine tannins, much more feminine than the Bonnes-Mares (usually I find it the other way round.) The mouth is tingling with salted licorice and white pepper on the aftertaste. Impressive for sure, but I need it to show a bit of soul. Drink 2015-2025.

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.
