The excellence of a great Burgundian terroir

The estate
Located in the heart of Chambolle-Musigny, Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé is a true institution in Burgundy. With origins dating back to the 15th century, this historic estate is renowned for its exceptional heritage of vines and for expertise handed down from generation to generation.

The vineyard
The estate owns a rare plot of Chardonnay within the prestigious Musigny Grand Cru. This unique terroir, made up of clay-limestone soils rich in small stones, gives the wine incomparable minerality and elegance.

The vintage
