In the pantheon of Burgundy, the pinnacle of elegance in Chambolle-Musigny has long been defined by a select few immortal names. Among them, Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé stands as the very soul and cornerstone. This legendary estate, with over five centuries of history and holding nearly 70% of the hallowed Musigny Grand Cru, is revered not only for its profound influence but also as one of the indispensable "Three Giants of Chambolle."

The domaine's prestige is rooted in its mastery of the village's most essential terroir, defining the ultimate expression of Chambolle-Musigny. Every stylistic nuance from this estate sends ripples throughout the world of fine Burgundy.

The 2022 vintage marks a historic moment for the domaine. It is not only an exceptional year of climatic perfection and pristine fruit but also the debut solo vintage from the new winemaker, Jean Lupatelli. Succeeding the venerable François Millet, whose philosophy adhered to classical, 100% destemmed winemaking, Lupatelli brings a more inclusive and vibrant modern vision.

His transformative touch is discernible: the judicious use of partial whole-cluster fermentation, tailored to each plot, imbues the wines with finer spice nuances and silkier tannins. A refined approach to oak allows the pure, vibrant red fruit to shine with greater brightness. Harvest began on August 31st under ideal conditions, yielding healthy, concentrated grapes that translated into wines of stunning energy, freshness, and transparency.

This exclusive dinner will be led by the complete range of 2022 vintage wines, featuring the Les Amoureuses 1er Cru, the rare white Musigny Blanc, and the triumvirate of Grand Crus: Bonnes-Mares and Musigny Vieilles Vignes. It is a unique opportunity to survey the full spectrum of Chambolle's finest terroirs and comprehend the refined new style under Jean Lupatelli.

To fully appreciate the legacy, we will complement the 2022s with a vertical tasting of mature Musigny Vieilles Vignes from the 2019, 2014, 2009, and 1999 vintages, with the latter two sourced directly from the domaine's cellars.

This gathering presents a rare confluence of scarce and magnificent wines. It is an evening to contrast nearly three decades of evolution in Musigny's greatest terroir, offering a profoundly layered and insightful sensory experience.

A long-awaited return of the Domaine de Vogüé dinner, this is a chance to taste both the present and the past of this iconic estate in a single night, witnessing the evolution of a legend. This may well be one of the most essential Burgundy experiences of 2025.

We look forward to sharing this extraordinary evening with you on Wednesday, 17th December.
