2011 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Les Amoureuses, Bottle (750ml)

"Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The 2011 Chambolle-Musigny les Amoureuses from Comte de Vogüé has a quintessential “Amoureuses” bouquet with opulent and generous black cherries and blueberry aromas, distant scents of oak vanillin developing in the glass. This is very floral and perfumed. The palate is medium-bodied with very lithe and supple tannins. The acidity is well judged and it is blessed with a very satin-like, harmonious finish that demonstrates great persistence. This does not quite match up to the example I tasted last year, but I suspect that it will begin to blossom in 2-3 years." NM for TWA Nov 2014
