The oldest vines date back to 1953 and the youngest are declassified to Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru. Dense black centre with purple edges. The nose shows no detail but just a great intensity of fruit. Almost brutal on the palate with strong tannins behind. But this is certainly not because there is nothing there but just a sign of intense youth translated as current inertia. The intensity is there, yes, the freshness at the back, yes, persistence too and now at last some detail comes out: ripe blackcurrant, blueberry, intense ripe cherry. This will have three months more elevage than the Chambolle-Musigny, and clearly needs it.

The older vines in de Vogüé's extensive 7.2ha in Musigny date back to 1953 and make a wine that's considerably weightier than the young-vine cuvée. This is very deep and intense in colour, exhibiting layers of dark bramble and black cherry flavours and a backbone of precise, chalky, mouthwatering acidity. A wine that needs time to digest its 35% new wood. (Drink between 2026-2037).

The 2017 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is complex and well defined on the nose, where touches of iodine and wild heather infuse the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly grainy texture; notes of black truffle and fresh fig complement a fruit profile that welcomes more red fruit toward the finish. Hints of white pepper and sage linger on the aftertaste. This is certainly beginning to close up in bottle, so allow a decade if you can for this Musigny to show what it is capable of. (Drink between 2027-2060).
