Domain Comte George de Vogue Musigny Grand Cru 2022 750ml 

94-97 points Allen Meadows - Burghound

This is aromatically quite similar to the 1er except that it is notably more restrained and requires considerable swirling to coax the nose to reveal its nuances. On the palate though there is noticeably more size, weight and mid-palate density thanks to the abundant sap that imparts a highly seductive mouthfeel while also buffering the firmer, though just as fine, tannic structure shaping the hugely long, youthfully austere and decidedly powerful finish that is akin to rolling tiny rocks around the mouth. This is also positively brilliant with the development potential to match. 

94-96 points William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 19, 2024)

The 2022 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is very attractive, bursting with aromas of cherries, raspberries, blood orange, rose petals and vine smoke. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it's layered and fleshy, with a deep and seamless core of fruit that conceals powdery structuring tannins, concluding with a broad, perfumed finish. If this fulfills all its promise in bottle, it may make my score look conservative.

98 points Charles Curtis MW - Decanter

A tasting of each of the seven 2022 Musigny VV sub-sections and an approximate blend hint at a wine of almost voluptuous sensuality, with expressive mulberry and pomegranate fruit and hints of earth, smoke and liquorice that waft from the glass. The texture is powerfully tannic and dense but almost infinitely silky, and there is a dynamic interplay between the perfumed fruit and robust structure. Ideally, wait a decade before opening. Drink 2028-2080. 

TASTING NOTES

Expressive and layered, the nose bursts with aromas of cherries, raspberries, blood orange, and rose petals, underscored by hints of vine smoke and liquorice. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied, rich, and concentrated, with a deep core of fruit that seamlessly integrates with powdery tannins. The finish is long, powerful, and youthfully austere, evolving with remarkable persistence.

A wine of almost voluptuous sensuality, the 2022 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is built for longevity. Ideally, allow at least a decade for its full potential to unfold.
