Musigny AOC

Musigny, sometimes referred to as Le Musigny, is an Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) and Grand Cru vineyard for red and white wine in Côte de Nuits of Burgundy.

The name is derived from a family de Musigny which is now extinct, but which held offices in the court of the Dukes of Burgundy from the 14th century.

All other Burgundy Grand Crus for white wine are located in the Côte de Beaune.

The AOC regulations also allow up to 15 per cent total of Chardonnay, Pinot blanc and Pinot gris as accessory grapes in the red wine, but this is practically never done in any Burgundy Grand Cru wine.

Vogüé is the largest producer while Leroy and Roumier make less than 300 bottles per year.
