"The 2009 Musigny Vieilles Vignes from Domaine Comte de VogĂŒĂ© is a profound young wine in the making. The beautifully complex and again, quite reserved nose offers up a magical blend of red and black cherries, raw cocoa, superb minerality, woodsmoke, a nice note of mustard seed, a definitive touch of iron and a lovely base of new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with a rock solid core of pure fruit, great soil inflection, lovely acidity, suave, but again, quite substantial tannins and great length and grip on the magical finish. This is still a very young wine that will need all of fifteen years to really reach its apogee of maturity, but it is so good that I will be very surprised if hundred and hundreds of bottles are not drunk in its relative youth, as the wine is going to be very hard to resist after only a few years in the cellar. Another great Comte de VogĂŒĂ© Musigny."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Produces the most delicate and perfumed reds of the Cote de Nuits, prized for floral elegance and silky texture.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
