Description
Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Vieilles Vignes
DESCRIPTION:
- The Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is inextricably linked to the Grand Cru vineyard of Musigny—in some eyes the pinnacle of Pinot Noir—a wine that should be both complete and profound but never heavy: ‘majesty itself’ claims Clive Coates.
- Millet started picking on September 9 in order to keep as much as freshness as possible.
- The fruit was 100% destemmed.
- New oak ranged from 15% for the Chambolle villages to 35-40% for the Bonnes Mares and Musigny Vieilles Vignes.
- The malos were on the slow side and for the most part.
GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Pinot Noir
FOOD PAIRINGS: Pinot Noir is well-suited to pair with poultry, beef, fish, ham, lamb and pork. It will play well with creamy sauces, spicy seasonings and may just be one of the world’s most versatile food wines.
TASTING NOTES: Deep, saturated-cherry red. Wow, what a nose; the glass doesn’t even need a swirl to give up chocolate- and creme-brulee-covered, red-cherry fruit. Super complexity. The nose is well-matched to a beautifully textured palate, incredibly complex flavors that cling to your gums, fine tannins that are completely covered by the fruit. Magnificent now, I’m drooling at the prospect of its 20th birthday! – The Burgundy-Report.com
