94 Robert Parker
Sumptuous aromas of violets, blackberries, and bilberries explode from the medium to dark ruby-colored 2001 Musigny. A wine of amazing purity and elegance, it reverberates on the palate revealing broad layers of floral dark fruit flavors. Lush yet superbly delineated, this medium-bodied effort is expressive, complex, and dignified. Its prolonged, succulent finish exhibits waves of raspberry fruit and loads of ripe, supple tannin. One of the stars of the vintage, it will be at its peak of maturity between 2006 and 2015.
Producer
Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüe
Comtes de Vogüé is one of the most celebrated producers in the Côte d'Or. Located in Chambolle-Musigny, it dates back to 1450 when Jean Moisson constructed the original building. The property has remained in the original family since - even through the French Revolution when they went into exile in England. In 1766, a female descendant married Cerice-Melchior de Vogüé. It is from this line that the domaine took its name. Its more modern history started in 1925 when the Comte Georges de Vogüé took over and designed the label. Today, the domaine is in the hands of his granddaughters and run by three individuals - Eric Bourgogne, vineyard manager; François Millet, head of winemaking; and Jean-Luc Pépin, sales and marketing. The domaine owns an incredible amount of Musigny - 7.2 hectares (over 6.55 hectares planted to red and another 0.65 hectares to white) out of a total surface of 10.85 hectares, making them the largest landowners. Their Bonnes Mares is also one of the most sought after in the region.
