2023 Chambolle-Musigny, 1er Cru, Comte Georges de Vogue

Notes of orange zest, peonies, rose petals, plums and berries introduce the 2023 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru, a medium to full-bodied, ample and succulent wine that's lively and sensual. Produced from declassified "young" vine Musigny (though the designation "younger" might be more a propos, as the vines are not especially young), it seems to me more marked by whole-bunch aromas and textures than the rest of the range. ~ (94) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-30-2025

Mid ruby. Quite deeply coloured. A wine of contrasts. Lots of finesse but great savoury depth in the dark raspberry, cherry and cassis fruit. High-toned, crisp acidity and a moderately rich palate. The tannins are elegant and fine but quite firm and substantial. There is depth and concentration but freshness too. The finish is quite long, with a light mineral, salty quality. ~ (17) Matthew Hayes, JancisRobinson.com 11-15-2024

This is also quite floral in character with its ever-so-slightly riper array of exuberantly spicy blend of both red and dark cherry, exotic tea and a whiff of dried orange peel. The palate impression of the medium-bodied flavors is interesting in that it's not quite as dense yet it is more powerful and just as mineral-driven, all wrapped in a robust, austere and clearly built-to-age finish. This cuvée has always been good to very good but it seems to have taken a huge step forward in the last two vintages. ~ (95) Allen Meadows, Burghound 1-10-2025
