Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé has made wine in Chambolle-Musigny since 1450, and the estate has passed through some twenty generations of the same family. Its best-known holding is in the grand cru Le Musigny. Just below it lies Les Amoureuses, a premier cru often compared to the grand crus around it. De Vogüé farms a parcel of about 0.6 hectares there, planted mostly in 1974 with some vines from 1964, in pale, light-textured soils mixed with limestone. The grapes are destemmed and given a cool soak before fermentation, and the wine is aged in barrel with about 30% new oak. The 2006 growing season had a lot of swings. Spring was cool and wet, July was very hot and dry, and a hailstorm passed through Chambolle late that month. August was cooler and damp, and the harvest came under warm September weather with scattered showers, so careful sorting in the vineyard mattered. The Côte de Nuits came through better than the south, and its reds are known for being open and fruit-forward rather than as powerful as the 2005s. About twenty years past harvest, this wine goes well with roast squab or pheasant, or with the cheeses of Burgundy.
Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
