法國布根地著名酒莊Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé擁有驚人的悠久歷史，從1450年Jean Moisson創立這個莊園以來已經超過560多年傳承了20代，是Chambolle-Musigny村最知名也最重要的酒莊，而且專注於只種植釀造本村的酒。現今酒莊的名字來自1925年接掌本酒莊的Georges de Vogüé伯爵，他經營本酒莊直到1987年他去世為止；在他的努力之下，在1940年代本酒莊開始打響了知名度，以其Musigny頂級園紅酒風靡了全世界布根地酒迷的心。現在本酒莊是他的兩個外孫女掌管經營。無論哪一本布根地的專書，本酒莊是一定會被詳細介紹的；而在Robert Parker的著作The World’s Greatest Wine Estates書中，本酒莊也名列其中。
本酒莊是Musigny頂級園的最大地主，大約擁有本園面積的80 %，其招牌酒Musigny紅酒使用嚴格挑選的平均樹齡40年以上的葡萄，因此這款酒的酒標上都會標示「老樹“Vieilles Vignes”」字樣；它最迷人的是複雜多變的香氣，豐富成熟的漿果香，常表現出絕佳的平衡、精巧的和諧，被譽為最能表現Pinot Noir的細緻優雅風味紅酒。年產量不到1000箱，是全世界美酒鑑賞家們的夢幻銘品之一。

The 2016 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru was damaged 70% by the frost: a significant proportion of the entire Grand Cru given that Comte de Vogüé owns most of it. Matured in 30% new oak, it has a broody bouquet that is not as immediate as the Bonnes Mares at the moment, in fact, you would think there is a small amount of stem addition even though there is nary a stem. The word that springs to mind nosing this Musigny is “rocky,” maybe basalt? The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. There is plenty of blackberry and wild strawberry fruit infused with minerals that segue into a strict and correct finish that leaves you with a persistent stony aftertaste. It is more of a cerebral than sensual Musigny, one that will require eight to ten years in bottle. I was not quite captured by this Musigny but I suspect that it will show better once in bottle.
