Description of the Domaine Comte de Vogüe
Musigny is one of Burgundy's very greatest crus, and the estate owns the largest share of it: 7.2 ha, about 70% of the vineyard, including 6.46 ha of Pinot Noir. nly vines over 25 years old go into the Cuvée Vieilles Vignes; younger vines go into the Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru.
2022 was a very hot, dry vintage, rescued by late-August rain. At the estate, acidity stayed surprisingly good, with about 13% natural alcohol. Reserved at first, the nose opens with air on red fruit, cherry, mulberry, pomegranate and blood orange, with rose petals, wildflowers and a touch of smoke. The palate is dense and concentrated, both powerful and silky, with a fleshy core, fine powdery tannins and intense minerality. The finish is perfumed and very long. A truly great Musigny that needs at least a decade in the cellar.
Allen Meadows : 96 points
"This is aromatically quite similar to the 1er except that it is notably more restrained and requires considerable swirling to coax the nose to reveal its nuances. On the palate though there is noticeably more size, weight and mid-palate density thanks to the abundant sap that imparts a highly seductive mouthfeel while also buffering the firmer, though just as fine, tannic structure shaping the hugely long, youthfully austere and decidedly powerful finish that is akin to rolling tiny rocks around the mouth. This is also positively brilliant with the development potential to match."
Domaine Arnaud Ente
Santenots
The nose shows a mass of fresh red fruit, concentrated and intense, with just the right ripeness. The palate is medium to full-bodied, ample and succulent, with a fleshy core of fruit and melting tannins
Domaine Bertheau
Les Amoureuses
The beautifully layered nose offers another small step up in elegance and a large step up in aromatic complexity and spiciness to the essence of red pinot fruit and intense floral influence
Domaine Bart
Bonnes Mares
A distinctly earthy and spicy nose flashes notes of dark cherry, rose petal and raspberry. The much richer and more concentrated big-bodied flavors possess excellent power on the robust, dusty and mouth coating finish
Domaine Anne Gros
Echezeaux
The 2019 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a clean and very precise bouquet: nicely focused with palpable mineralité even at this early juncture
Domaine Comte De Vogüe
Musigny Grand Cru
Reserved at first, the nose opens with air on red fruit, cherry, mulberry, pomegranate and blood orange, with rose petals, wildflowers and a touch of smoke. The palate is dense and concentrated, both powerful and silky, with a fleshy core
Domaine Sylvie Esmonin
Gevrey Chambertin
Maxime Cottenceau
Montagny 1er Cru
The 2022 shows a nose of yellow flowers, quince compote, lemon zest and crushed stone, with a touch of cedar. The palate is rich and juicy, with astonishing density, citrus and white fruit
Pierre Vincent Girardin
Vosne Romanée
The wine shows a nose of blackcurrant and red fruit, with a spicy, floral touch from the whole clusters. The palate is racy and fruity, with velvety tannins and the freshness of the upper slope
Hubert Lamy
Puligny 1er Cru
Les Tremblots is a lieu-dit in the south of Puligny-Montrachet, on the border with Chassagne. Its name probably comes from the aspen trees (trembles) that once grew there
Domaine Etienne Sauzet
Puligny-Montrachet
There is excellent cut, minerality and a sophisticated texture to the driving middle weight flavors that tighten up immediately on the refined
Pierre Vincent Girardin
Meursault
The wine shows a nose of white fruit, peach and acacia blossom, with a touch of almond and a hint of smoke. The palate is full and concentrated yet fresh and saline, with a clean citrus finish
