The 1982 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is a highly mature red Pinot Noir from Burgundy, France. Expect an elegant, pale ruby wine with complex, earthy notes of forest floor, dried flowers, and sweet red fruits. This wine is very old and fragile, so drink it right away.
This wine is a rare collector's item. It is produced by one of the most famous and historic estates in the Chambolle-Musigny village.
The wine is aged in oak barrels, which adds warm baking spice flavors. It has "terroir," meaning the wine tastes like the specific patch of dirt where the grapes were grown.
How to Serve
-
Decanting: Do not use a wide decanter. This wine is fragile. It will lose its flavors (oxidize) quickly in fresh air. Pour it from the bottle directly into glasses.
-
Tasting Window: Drink it right away. It is fully aged and past its best drinking peak.
- Storage: Store it in a cool, dark place with a stable temperature (about 12°C). Keep the bottle on its side to keep the cork wet.
