Comte Georges de Vogue
A prestigious producer from the village of Chambolle-Musigny, supported by a rich history and with gem fields.
Domaine Comte Georges de Voguer is a dream destination for Burgundy lovers who seek the finest Burgundy wine. He is one of the great makers of Chambolle Musigny, with a reputation that no one knows his name.
A domaine that produces wines that Burgundy lovers yearn for.
Comte Georges de Voguer reigns as one of the largest domaines in Chambord-Musigny, which is said to produce the most delicate and elegant wines in Burgundy. The history of the domaine dates back to 1450, and it was in 1925 that Count Georges de Voguer, who gives the domaine its current name, inherited it.
Currently, the domaine is owned by the granddaughters of Count Voguer, and its management is managed by François Mier, winemaker, Eric Bourgogne, cultivation manager, and Jean-Luc Pépin, sales representative. Three people are in charge of each. Furthermore, Mr. François Mier will retire at the end of 2021, and Mr. Jean Lupatelli is currently taking over his will.
We own 7.2 ha, which is equivalent to 70% of the Musigny plot, which is a well-known special grade field. Bonne Mare is also the largest in this climat, at 2.7ha, and Les Ameluses is 0.56ha, and we own a number of fields that are representative of Chambolle-Musigny.
There was a period from the 1960s to the mid-1980s when it was in a slump, but thanks to Francois Mier (photo: right), who has been the brewer since 1986, it has made a spectacular comeback like a phoenix. The reforms he implemented were to reduce the amount of production and change the production method to suit the conditions of the year. In addition, in order to bring out the "elegance" of Chambolle-Musigny to the fullest, we have kept the proportion of new oak barrels low even in the special wines, allowing the grape's original flavor to shine through.
As a result, we have produced wines of remarkable quality one after another, producing great wines that boast the unwavering quality of Burgundy.
