Just yesterday a friend stated that Vogüé isn´t allowed anymore to declare a Musigny blanc (Grand Cru) - I denied that …
thanks for confirming me …
It´s simply a question of price … what I´ve tasted as declassified Musigny (= Bourgogne blanc) isn´t worth more than 100 Euro (and it was usually 150+) … and my sole GC Musigny blanc was interesting … but not really stunning … so I´m not a buyer.
And the price - yup!
I asked why the change for the 2015 vintage and not the 2014 - the answer was that ‘sometimes decisions are quite slow here’- so I’d assume that the 14 could be the superior wine at a lower price - of-course with a Bourgogne label though…
Tried their Bourgogne few times. Its OK at best. Would not buy the Bourgogne again let alone this wine now at higher price tag.
I wonder why they persist in making a sub par blanc from the hallowed turf. Most producers would die to get their hands on a small plot of Musigny to make a rouge. Its like “we have so many acres we don’t care”.
