Extravagant very ripe spice aromas explode from the glass with remarkable complexity that frame superbly elegant gorgeously textured flavors that are intense and vibrant. This is really quite powerful for the vintage and incredibly long yet remains classy and fine. It is not especially big or dense as de Vogüé Musigny goes but is tautly muscular and defined. Extremely impressive for the vintage. Drink: 2010+

There is an enthralling sappy richness to the floral and blackberry-scented 2000 Musigny. Supremely elegant it is not quite as dense as the 2001 yet reveals outstanding depth purity and concentration. Lush stony red and black fruits are interspersed with violets and tangy raspberries in its exceptionally long expressive plump character. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2012.The 2000 vintage is yet another success story at Domaine du Comte Georges de Vogue. After having performed an evasivage (the removal of excess buds after flowering) the Vogue team still believed they had too much fruit on the vines and dropped half of the bunches prior to veraison as they did in 2001. In the end they harvested a moderate 30 hectoliters per hectares in a vintage where their neighbors set records. According to Millet the fact that the yields were kept under control also served to ensure a "very healthy" harvest. Drink: 2004 - 2012 Pierre Rovani
