Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Musigny Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2008

Perhaps there’s no more of a polarizing producer in Burgundy than de Vogüé. The 2008 Musigny was served blind, yielding calls from Dujac Bonnes Mares to Drouhin Amoureuses to actually, correctly Vogüé Musigny. The 2008 showed a lot of oak presence and doesn’t have the typical power of Musigny. But what it lacks in power it makes up for in elegance. It needed a great deal of air, and it often went back and forth from being shut to then being highly expressive and even wafting from the glass, detectable from a good distance away. There is great focus, concentration and intensity, with a long and gripping finish. Very enjoyable, but I think it needs more time to absorb the oak and balance itself out in order to truly reach its potential.

A lush beautiful perfumed wine. Juicy, energetic and silky. Rivaled the ‘08 Rousseau Chambertin I had earlier this year.

Big surprise. A Vogue Musigny not yet ready to drink. I do believe it will get there one day.

Drinking beautifully. Nice acidity giving it a juicy mouthfeel. Good tannins. But ready to drink. Nice fruit - plum and berry
