Description

Founded in 1450, Comtes Georges de Vogue own & make wine from some of the most desirable vineyards in Burgundy with significant holdings in the Grand Crus of Musigny & Bonnes-Mares. Their wines are complex, long-lived & reward long-term ageing & they are considered by many to be one of the finest domaines in the Cote d`Or.

About this wine

The 1976 vintage of Musigny from Comte Georges de Vogüé stands as a testament to the exceptional vintage conditions of that year. This wine beautifully encapsulates the character of Musigny vineyard's terroir, offering a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits, earthiness, and subtle oak influences, with a balance and finesse that has only been enhanced with age. The wine reveals layers of cherry, raspberry, and violets, followed by notes of spice, earth, and a touch of leather, leading to a long, silky finish.

Musigny

Musigny is one of the most prestigious Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy, located in the Côte de Nuits region. Wines from Musigny are highly sought after, known for their exceptional complexity, elegance, and aging potential. The vineyard itself covers a relatively small area, producing red wines almost exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes, with a tiny amount of Chardonnay.
