Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé – tasting of 2014s from Cask

By -

On my November trip to Burgundy I had the opportunity to visit Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé for a tasting of the 2014 vintage from cask.

It’s always a treat to taste at Comte de Vogüé, and to hear Francois Millet explain the vintage in his own philosophical way … for me it usually set the vintage in perspective … and add to the understanding of other wines tasted.

Overall impressions of the Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé 2014s

I’m very exited about the 2014s from Vogüé as they sort of reminds me of the lovely 2002s – one of my favorite vintages from this fine estate. The 2014s have a lovely nerve and energy and the fruit is very juicy – the transparency is very fine as is the display of terroir. The wines offer great purity and a beautiful and charming expression of Chambolle. The 2014 are not powerhouses .. they excels in refinement and delicacy .. the kind of Burgundies I love to drink.

The 2014s are lovely wines that deserves your attention … although the can’t match the great 2010s they will no doubt offer tremendous pleasure over the next decades … gorgeous wines.

Notes from the November tasting

All the wines were tasted from cask on November 17th 2015 under the guidance of winemaker Francois Millet,

Comte de Vogüé, Chambolle Musigny 2014

The Chambolle village is showing very well offering a charming display of fruits. In the bouquet – very forward with variations of red fruits … pomegranate, red currant, raspberries … pure and powered by a lovely minerality. On the palete very juicy and accommodating with a charming midpalate fruit and a fine transparency. The fruit is generous and delicate offering a fine view to the terroir .. a lovely village in the making.

Comte de Vogüé, Chambolle Musigny 1er cru 2014

The 1er cru is quite a step up from the village showing the pedigree of the magnificent Musigny terroir … although in a young version – coming from the young vines on Musigny grand cru. The bouquet is forward and charming with loads of cool red fruit powered by a quite intense limestony minerality. What you smell is what you get … on the palate fine delicate red fruit .. pure, refined and charming. The mineralic backbone and the fine acidity is providing a lovely nerve and energy … gorgeous juice.

Comte de Vogüé, Les Amoureuses 2014

The 2014 Amoureuses is a beauty. In the bouquet delicate red fruit brought forward by a racy and filigree minerality – delicate notes of white peppar and white roses. On the palate gorgeous red fruit – lovely midpalate sweetness – notes of pomegranate adding nerve and energy .. very focused and refined with it’s backbone of limestony minerality. A truly lovely Amoureuses … with a spirit and soul that almost defines the vineyard name.

Comte de Vogüé, Bonnes Mares 2014

The Bonnes Mares is showing a darker side of the Chambolle terroirs – but is nevertheless also very charming and juicy. In the nose red and dark berry fruit – notes of raspberries, blueberries, dark cherries and underbrush. On the palate layers of cool and refined fruit – juicy and quite zappy – with a lovely energy. The minerality is more earthy and less expressive than in the other wines, but this Bonnes Mares offer a lovely nerve and tension. A lovely Bonnes Mares in the making.

Comte de Vogüé, Musigny Vieilles Vignes 2014

The Musigny 2014 is a magnificent wine in the making …. reminding me of the delightful 2002 Musigny that I cherish so much. In the nose layers of red ruit – forward, airy with the powerful minerality providing nerve and energy. On the palate impressive depth with a lovely layered red fruit on the midpalate. It’s a refined and delicate Musigny … but the level of energy and nerve is almost explosive … as the transparent and delicate fruit really compliments the expression of the magnificent Musigny terroir. It’s a beautiful and elegant Musigny in the making … and I LOVE it! Is it better than the 2002? … time will show!
