This lot comprises an original wooden case with six bottles of 2005 vintage Musigny Cuvée Vieilles Vignes produced by Domaine Vogüé from the Musigny appellation in Burgundy.

This Grand Cru vineyard can produce esteemed Pinot noirs that not only achieve power, but also finesse and sustainability. The vineyard is situated in the upper part of the famous Clos de Vougeot. Vines grow on a porous calciferous soil that can give the growths fineness and firmness.

The elegance of the wines produced in this old cultivated landscape in the heart of Europe is founded on its topographic, geological and climatic disposition. The Burgundy vineyards lie at an intersection: it is where the restrained warmth of the South meets the cool crispness of the North. Due to this, the grapes can develop complexity at full maturity and still don’t lose their natural freshness. This is not only true for the white Burgundy, grown from Chardonnay, but also the red Burgundy, made from Pinot noir. What makes Burgundy an exceptional wine-growing region, however, are the small, rural configurations that have caused generations of vintners to intensively grapple with the small parcels of vine-growing land in attempts to cultivate sublime wines. This continuity over centuries is brought to fruition in all of the finest Burgundy wines.

2005 war ein exzellentes Weinjahr im Burgund. Das Resultat sind farbintensive und gutstrukturierte Weine, die auch heutzutage noch wunderbar zu trinken sind.
