2013 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue, Musigny Grand Cru, Cuvee Vieilles Vignes 1x750ml

Vinous 90/100

The 2013 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru has a pronounced, minty bouquet with plenty of fruit. However, it lacks the bandwidth of a truly great Musigny from de Vogue. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, briny with black olives infusing the black fruits, linear and structured toward the finish. Fine, but very serious. Like an old schoolmate who you’ve never heard crack a joke. [Neal Martin, 17/10/2023]

"Served blind, the 2013 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru from Comte de Vogue wore its pedigree on its sleeve, opening in the glass with a superb bouquet of wild strawberries, rose, cherry, blood orange and plum-much like it did in barrel. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and layered, with succulent acids, a deep mid-palate and a sapid, mineral-laden finish. Pure and transparent, this is a beautifully elegant Musigny that should be comparatively approachable in another 5 or 6 years." [William Kelley, 31/01/2018]
