With a long history going back to the 15th century, Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is undoubtedly one of the finest producers in the Côte de Nuits. The estate is currently led by the sisters Comtesse Claire de Causans and Marie de Ladoucette, with Jean Lupatelli as chef de cave. De Vogüé holds a 7.2-hectare plot in the Musigny Grand Cru, by far the biggest landowner in the 10.8-hectare vineyard. The 1990 reds are impressive wines, exuding charm, backbone and plenty of colour.

Vinous
The 1990 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru has always been a controversial wine. This is my fourth bottle and I continue to side with those that feel it was overhyped on initial release. It comes across as a ham-fisted wine. For a start, it has an archetypal dead fruit nose, drained of vigour and energy, sultry with cedar and burnt toast, as if aping a Bordeaux. The palate is dense and excessively tannic. It still has a vice-like grip, yet it is bereft of tension and precision, leaden towards the finish. I have never liked what ought to have been a great Musigny and touted as such in some quarters. Now at 28 years old, it is not going to get any better. Tasted at the La Paulée in Beaune.Neal Martin1st May 2019
