Who makes it
One domaine controls the entire Les Petits-Musigny climat in Chambolle-Musigny. In Burgundy, a climat is a defined vineyard site, and this one belongs entirely to Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé. The range includes red Chambolle-Musigny, Musigny and Bonnes-Mares wines, alongside white Musigny.
The domaine has remained in the same family for over 20 generations. Claire de Causans and Marie de Ladoucette, granddaughters of Comte Georges, currently manage it. François Millet is winemaker and technical director. The house style centres on delicate aromas, refined flavours, and a silky finish.
Where it grows
Chambolle-Musigny is the home village for a range that moves through Burgundy's vineyard hierarchy. The domaine makes Chambolle-Musigny village and Premier Cru wines, including Les Amoureuses, alongside Musigny and Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru wines. Grand Cru is the highest vineyard classification in Burgundy, while Premier Cru names the level below it.
The same village name therefore appears at different levels on the label. A Chambolle-Musigny village wine carries the commune name, a Premier Cru adds a classified vineyard, and Musigny or Bonnes-Mares names a Grand Cru climat.
How it is made
The cellar
The domaine practices lutte raisonnée, using treatments only as required. Horses plough the vineyards, weeds are allowed to grow between the rows in autumn and winter, and the domaine applies its own compost to two hectares each year.
For Musigny, the grapes are fully destemmed and undergo cold maceration before alcoholic fermentation, which stays below 32°C. The wine ages in barrel with 35 to 45 percent new oak. Wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered, leaving the finished wine without those cellar treatments.
What they make
The range follows vineyard level, named site and colour. Chambolle-Musigny appears as a village wine and as Premier Cru, including Les Amoureuses. Musigny Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes and Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru are red wines from classified Grand Cru vineyards.
White Musigny occupies a separate place in the range. The bottles therefore cover commune level, named Premier Cru sites, Grand Cru vineyards and a white Musigny whose classification changed during its history.
