2022 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue Musigny Grand Cru 'Cuvee Vieilles Vignes' Cote de Nuits

When it comes to Burgundy, especially the charming village of Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is the name everyone knows. This estate has been nurturing the region’s finest vineyards for 20 generations (over 550 years). Owning the majority of the revered Musigny vineyard, de Vogüé isn’t just making wine—they’re crafting a legacy.

The 2022 vintage is something truly special. Picture this: a deep, cherry-red wine that immediately fills the air with rich aromas of chocolate, crème brûlée, and fresh red cherries. No need to swirl the glass—the bouquet is that powerful. Take a sip, and you’ll find a silky, complex palate with flavors that linger long after the glass is empty. This is a wine that’s stunning now but promises to be even more extraordinary as it ages. It’s the kind of bottle you’ll want to treasure.

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé doesn’t just grow grapes—they nurture them. They use organic principles in their vineyards, letting nature take the lead. Horses plow the fields, and herbs are planted between rows to keep pests in check naturally. Winemaker François Millet believes in letting each vintage speak for itself, with minimal intervention. The result? A wine that’s pure, unfined, unfiltered, and brimming with character.

2022 is looking to be a great year in Burgundy. Decanter said, "Despite the (very) hot and dry season, 2022 wasn’t a typical année solaire, according to the verdicts of Burgundy’s winemakers, with quality and quantity to be found, many early-drinking options, but reds to lay down, too. Overall quality is very high for red wines. There is more concentration in 2022… even if you try to make wine for the future, they are showing quite well right now."

100% Pinot Noir. Deep cherry red, with rich aromas of chocolate, crème brûlée, and cherries, leading to a silky, complex palate. Pinot Noir is a food lover’s dream, and this grand cru is no exception. Whether you’re cooking up a juicy steak, tender lamb, or even a simple roast chicken, this wine will make your meal sing. It’s versatile enough to pair with creamy sauces, spicy dishes, or even rich seafood—truly a wine for any occasion.

As mentioned in the introduction, there are seven separate parcellaire cuvées of Musigny which will be blended. We tried four of them, representing different sectors. Les Petits Musigny (north): An even purple, succulent red fruit. Fresh raspberry and strawberry, touch of liquorice, very even, fair acidity, soft tannins. Les 13 ouvrees: Stonier than north Musigny. A touch darker in colour and definitely a richer bouquet, more headily floral. More clearly the weight of Musigny, but also shows as quite a bit riper. Grand Musigny Haut: A glowing mid purple. A lovely tensile strength, not so evidently ripe, but correctly so, red to dark red in fruit. Good acidity, and fairly complete. Grand Musigny Bas: Glowing purple perhaps fractionally deeper than the upper part. The nose is less extrovert but clearly has superb class and a poised density. The sense of completeness of GM Haut but noticeably more intense through the mid palate. The fruit is a fraction riper, perfectly so, with a few suggestions of dark raspberry in the fruit. Very persistent indeed and a freshness to the finish, enough to make a major wine. I don’t feel it correct to award five stars until I have seen the full blended wine, preferably in bottle, but I certainly don’t rule that out. Drink from 2035-2050. ~95-100 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy

A great Burgundian legend is back in very top form. Enveloping nose of red fruit, red roses and wildflowers. Anything but dramatic, this stuns you with its incredible finesse and extraordinary textural complexity. On the upper edge of medium-bodied, also thanks to the fabulously fine tannins that interlock perfectly with the intense minerality to drive the super-long finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. ~99 James Suckling

A tasting of each of the seven 2022 Musigny VV sub-sections and an approximate blend hint at a wine of almost voluptuous sensuality, with expressive mulberry and pomegranate fruit and hints of earth, smoke and liquorice that waft from the glass. The texture is powerfully tannic and dense but almost infinitely silky, and there is a dynamic interplay between the perfumed fruit and robust structure. Ideally, wait a decade before opening. ~98 Decanter

Right next to the Bonnes-Mares, a touch more floral and red fruity, extremely classy, ​​playful, a drug; seems quieter, but still waters are known to be deep; almost endlessly long, sensational tannins; built for a long life. ~97 Adrian van Velsen - vvWine.ch

From an incredible 6.46 ha parcel, which doesn't include the .67 ha section planted to chardonnay. This is aromatically quite similar to the 1er except that it is notably more restrained and requires considerable swirling to coax the nose to reveal its nuances. On the palate though there is noticeably more size, weight and mid-palate density thanks to the abundant sap that imparts a highly seductive mouthfeel while also buffering the firmer, though just as fine, tannic structure shaping the hugely long, youthfully austere and decidedly powerful finish that is akin to rolling tiny rocks around the mouth. This is also positively brilliant with the development potential to match. ~ 94-97 Burghound

The 2022 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is very attractive, bursting with aromas of cherries, raspberries, blood orange, rose petals and vine smoke. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it's layered and fleshy, with a deep and seamless core of fruit that conceals powdery structuring tannins, concluding with a broad, perfumed finish. If this fulfills all its promise in bottle, it may make my score look conservative. ~94-96 Wine Advocate

This was a complicated tasting involving sampling each of the different sectors (that part rather fascinating!) then trying to see the final wine. The "real idea of Musigny", as Jean Lupatelli called it, is laden with sweet and savory barbecue spices, drying flower petals and peak-of-ripeness blueberries. The acidity is strikingly present and high-pitched while the tannins are smooth and satiny. I look forward to tasting this after it is bottled. ~95 Tim Atkin
