Grand Crus of Chambolle-Musigny
- Musigny Grand Cru — The jewel of the appellation, producing wines of profound elegance that combine intensity, sensuality and longevity. A Musigny marries the depth of Bonnes-Mares with the grace of Chambolle.
- Les Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru — Shared between Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis, offering a more powerful and structured profile, yet retaining the appellation’s hallmark silkiness.
The Iconic “Les Amoureuses” Premier Cru
Among the Premier Crus, Les Amoureuses holds a near-mythical status. Often compared to a Grand Cru, this vineyard produces a vibrant, mineral Pinot Noir of exceptional finesse. The Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé affectionately calls it the “first lady of the village,” celebrating its precision, minerality and unmatched distinction. Its name perfectly captures the wine’s personality: seductive, delicate and unforgettable — the essence of Chambolle-Musigny.
