Bonnes Mares Comte Georges De Vogue 2020
This high-quality Bonnes Mares from Domaine Comte George de Vogue demonstrates great wealth. In the heart of the Cote de Nuits since the fifteenth century the vineyard from which it comes is taken care of in the smallest details by Eric Bourgogne with exemplary precision in order to obtain grapes that do not require particular interventions in the cellar, according to the will of the "chef de cave" Françoie Millet . The vineyards are mostly found in the lower part of the plot, where the territorial matrix is called Terres Rouges, a reddish land rich in metals. The wines of this part are more structured and mature. Thus was born this wine of incomparable concentration, elegance and longevity.
With an intense ruby red color, the nose gives aromas of berries, blueberries and cherry. On the palate it reveals an excellent intensity and persistence with a firm but gentle tannin which is evident in the finish leaving a feeling of dryness and balance.
Comte Georges de Vogue
This Domaine is one of the most historic of Burgundy, in fact it was born in 1450 in Chambolle-Musigny. Of the 12 Ha owned, 7 are in the Grand Cru Musigny, Which makes the company the most important owner of this Grand Cru. To complete the wine estate there are the plots inside the Grand cru Bonnes-Mares and the extraordinary 1er cru of Chambolle-Musigny "Les Amoureuses". This Domaine produces a total of 40,000 bottles per year. The half a hectare of Chardonnay, planted within Grand Cru Musigny, is a rarity. Comte de Vogüé is the only one to produce this Grand Cru in white, but just after the vineyard has become fifty years older. Musigny Grand cru vineyards are downgraded to Chambolle-Musigny 1er cru until they reach 25 years of age. This is a further demonstration of the rigor of this Domaine which is an example for the regularity, refinement and longevity of its wines. An important breakthrough within the Domaine is in 1996 when they were added to the company's staff Eric Bourgogne, vineyard manager, and François Millet, the winery manager. From that moment on, the company returns to be one of the strongest points in Burgundy and comes out of the long period of torpor, in which it has failed to fully develop the potential that it has proved to be capable of over the years to come.
