The estate was founded around 1450 , and while the de Vogüé name first entered the domaine’s history in 1766, it has been a dominant owner in Musigny as far back as records and sources go.
Strangely enough, Lavalle’s 1855 work1 does not mention de Vogüé among the owners of Musigny or Les Petits Musigny. This is clearly an error on Lavalle’s part, and a quite substantial one at that.
Danguy and Aubertin mention de Vogüé as one of the principal owners of both Les Petits Musigny and Les Musigny in 1892. But the work also mentions other owners of Les Petits Musigny, indicating that some plots there were acquired by de Vogüé after the book’s publication in 1892. Danguy and Aubertin named Alberic Bichot and Boursot-Valot as the other owners of Les Petits Musigny. This is confirmed by Rodier (1920), who mentioned three owners of Les Petits Musigny: de Vogüé, Mugnier, and Boursot, indicating that de Vogüé acquired the final monopole-creating plots in Les Petits Musigny sometime after 1920.
Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé currently vinifies nine wines from the Musigny vineyard. The main wine is the Musigny Vieilles Vignes, produced from vines older than 25 years and a blend of seven individual plots.
The grapes from the younger vines are used for its Chambolle 1er Cru, and lastly, it produces a white Musigny from the two plots within the appellation.
