2018 De Vogue Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru 750Ml Bottle

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny ler Cru, from the young vines in Musigny, has more intensity than the Village Cru, coming across slightly more opaque and secretive. The palate is beautifully balanced with saturated tannin and a fine thread of acidity. Full of energy that flows through the sorbet-fresh finish, and silky-smooth in texture. This oft-overlooked cuvée comes highly recommended. Superb. 92-94 points - Neal Martin, Vinous

This cuvée represents the young vines of Le Musigny, dating between 1994 and 2007. Rich black purple, here the fruit is rather riper with a slight peach note to the rumbustious dark raspberry and blackberry. There are notable tannins behind – actually more spices, François suggests – and still some valuable freshness. 90-93 points - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
