Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue Chambolle Musigny Premier Cru 2023
Introduction
Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Chambolle Musigny Premier Cru 2023 originates from France, specifically from the Burgundy region and the Côte de Nuits subregion within the Chambolle Musigny appellation. The estate is a pillar of Burgundian history, dating back to 1450 and remaining under the same family ownership for over 20 generations. Winemaking is currently led by Jean Lupatelli, who took over from the long serving François Millet in 2021. The winery's philosophy emphasizes a deep respect for terroir, utilizing organic principles such as horse plowing and estate made organic compost, though the property is not officially certified.
Wine Description
This Premier Cru is unique because it is exclusively crafted from the younger vines of the Musigny Grand Cru vineyard. In 2023, the production was limited to only five barrels, all sourced from a plot planted in 2007 located just below the Musigny Blanc vines.
Aroma: An archetypal 'Chambolle' nose featuring small berried, rich raspberry fruit and crystalline raspberry fruit aromas.
Palate: The palate is described as 'kaleidoscopically perfumed,' where crystalline raspberry fruit competes with notes of rose petals.
Finish: The finish is long and fine, marked by an abundance of 'retro perfume'.
Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Noir.
ABV: Typically recorded around 13% to 13.5% for this estate's Premier Crus.
Stylistic Notes: While younger vines are used, the wine often displays a concentration and depth that hints at its Grand Cru origins, balanced by a lively and supple structure.
Food Pairing
The elegant structure and aromatic complexity of this Pinot Noir make it a classic partner for refined poultry and game dishes.
Meats: Roast duck, goose, and game birds such as teal or Anjou pigeon served with swiss chard and Madeira jus.
Savoury Classics: Duck with cherries or oeufs en meurette (eggs poached in red wine sauce).
Cheese: Pairs exceptionally well with Comté cheese.
Vintage Quality
The 2023 vintage in Burgundy is described as 'brilliant' and was characterized by a relatively benign winter followed by a tumultuous spring. Despite these variations, the year produced good maturity and healthy yields. Winemaker Jean Lupatelli noted that the 2023 wines possess a maturity similar to 2009 but without the sensation of high alcohol, and they feature finer tannins than those seen in 2018. The resulting wines are noted for their freshness, piquant fruit notes, and excellent structural balance.
