Product Description
RP98 "Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Amoureuses from de Vogüé might well be one of the greatest that I have tasted from this domaine. It has a beautiful, very pure bouquet with heavenly black cherry and dark plum fruit, stunning mineralité and delineation and laser-like focus. The palate is medium-bodied with supple and fine tannin, supremely well judged acidity, very elegant and veiled in finesse. This is certainly grand cru quality and what d'ya know - under blind conditions I gave this exactly the same mark as their Musigny Vieilles Vignes! Simply sensational." NM for TWA Oct 2015
"When I reviewed de Vogue’s 2011s six months ago, I tempered my praise for this historical estate’s wines, confessing that I fail to connect with them, to engage with their personalities and form the same bond as I have fostered with say, Armand Rousseau or Denis Bachelet. That is one of the fundamentals of Burgundy: the connection between personalities of drinker and grower. I guess it had just never “clicked”. However, their 2012s are probably the first new-born de Vogue’s where I found that connection. That is not to say that they might turn out to be superior to any vintage ever produced at the estate, but this time I departed asking myself that prosaic question: “Are these wines that I would choose at a restaurant?” I answered to myself, “Most definitely – yes.” As usual I met with winemaker Francois Millet, who was in philosophical form, discussing the “innocence” of the 2012s, an analogy that flew way over my head."
