To the eye, this wine is clear and shiny, yellow with golden highlights. On the nose, different aromas of flowers unfold in successive waves: linden, violet and daffodil. Delicate marine notes then appear, evoking notes of sea spray and shellfish. Scents of wild mint and fennel, as well as fruits like yellow plum and guava…
A ruby red robe with translucent glints for this wine that opens up onto a lovely bouquet surprising in its youthfulness; with red fruit, spice and garrigue (Provençal heath) notes. After a mouth-filling attack, the cherry and white pepper flavours open and lengthen out onto a refined liquorice feel. The palate is full and shows…
The 2023 Chateauneuf du Pape from Comte de Lauze offers up aromas of dark berries, licorice, spices and Provence herbs. Medium- to full-bodied, firm and muscular, it’s framed by assertive tannins, culminating in a robust, somewhat rustic finish. This blend of 70% Grenache Noir and 30% Syrah—grown entirely in galets roulés soils and matured in…
Good bright, dark red. Very pure aromas of briary blueberry and piquant herbs; slightly medicinal in its austerity. Dense, rich and sweet but tightly wound and austere, with dominant flavors of briary black fruits and earth. The most obviously tannic and medicinal of the estate’s 2004s at this stage. Millet notes that de Vogue owns…
Cloves, licorice, menthol and dark blue/blackish fruit inform the 2011 Bonnes-Mares. A wine that shows little of the early approachability of the year, the Bonnes-Mares is dense, compact and vibrant to the core, all of which bodes well for the future. Readers need to be patient here. Country: France Region: Burgundy Appellation: Cote De Nuits…
Bright, dark red-ruby. Knockout nose combines black fruits, minerals, dark chocolate, clove and menthol. Dense, sappy and intense, boasting outstanding energy and lift to its almost painful flavors of blackberry and black cherry. There’s a sweetness here but the wine is very closed today, finishing with a powerful tannic spine and superb vinosity (“in a…
The de Vogüé holding in Bonnes-Mares is 2.7ha in size, almost all of it on the red clay soils called terres rouges, which gives deep colour and a wine of great concentration and depth. This is the only wine that is punched down in the de Vogüé cellar, and it gives a vigorous, muscular result,…
Plenty of red fruit character here, plus notes of wet earth, blood orange and violets. Excellent concentration for 2022 with beautifully integrated fine tannins, the fresh acidity helping to drive the long, delicately earthy finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. Country: France Region: Burgundy Appellation: Cote De Nuits Sub Appellation: Bonnes Mares Size: 750ml…
This great Bonnes Mares starts cool and restrained, but expands rapidly as it moves over the palate, with delicate, spicy almond and cream character. Mouth-filling and generous yet subtle and light-footed, this is at the upper limit of medium-bodied. Then a huge wave of salty minerality comes through at the finish to give the wine…
The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru is a big step up from the Chambolle villages in this vintage. Bright red berries, flowers and spices are supported by vibrant layers of underlying minerality. I very much like the energy and focus here. The wine turns darker and richer with time in the glass. Hints of plum and…
92-94 The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny 1er 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…
Country: France Region: Burgundy Appellation: Cote De Nuits Sub Appellation: Chambolle Musigny Size: 750ml Color: Red Varietal Pinot Noir Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world’s most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means ‘black pine’ in French,…
90-91 From young vines in Musigny plus non-cru parcels, the de Vogue 2005 Chambolle-Musigny does indeed exhibit the character of black raspberry sorbet, ripe yet somehow “cool” with lovely clarity and wafting florality, a hint of wood smoke, and a bright, invigorating cling of ripe black raspberry fruit. This nicely restrained yet well-concentrated wine will…
The 2011 Chambolle-Musigny is a pretty, accessible wine, but today I get the impression the 2011 may be headed for a period of dormancy. The relaxed, easygoing personality of the vintage is in evidence, but the fruit isn’t as generous or resonant as it was a years ago. I have seen the villages blossom with…
One of Burgundy’s rarest wines, this is a grand cru white from the Côte de Nuits, replanted between 1986 and 1997 on white marl soils at the top of the slope. Mealy, leesy and refreshing, it has scented vanilla and nutmeg spices, an exotic mid-palate and appealing richness and texture. Country: France Region: Burgundy Appellation:…
Country: France Region: Burgundy Appellation: Cote De Nuits Sub Appellation: Musigny Size: 750ml Color: White Varietal Chardonnay Of all the white wine grape varietals, surely the one that has spread the furthest and is most widely appreciated is Chardonnay. This green-skinned grape is now grown all over the Old and New Worlds, from New Zealand…
96-98 My notes on the 2005 Musigny Vieilles Vignes represent a composite impression from a selection of barrels. There can be little question that this deep, dark wine displays its class of origin, indeed a class of its own in this year’s collection. Fresh black raspberry, pomegranate, blackberry, and iris dominate the nose and stain…
Smoked meat and salt-, kelp-, and iodine-laced maritime mineral overlays to the sweetly ripe berry and pit fruit concentrate of de Vogue’s 2007 Musigny Vieilles Vignes make for a Pinot as intriguing as it is eager to caress and please. Plush, polished, and possessed of formidable sheer sap, it displays an energy and interplay seldom…
94-97 The 2010 Musigny Vieilles Vignes is incredibly long and silky on the palate. Saline notes add urgency and vibrancy to the expressive red fruit in this beautifully woven, textured Musigny. Currently the Musigny appears to be revealing just a fraction of its potential. The sweet floral notes and super-refined red fruit that emerge over…
Deep, dark red. An elixir of dark berries on the nose, with complicating notes of crushed stone, menthol and flowers. Thick but weightless and youthfully imploded, with an element of spicy acidity giving outstanding cut and primary character to the blackberry and blueberry fruit flavors. Finishes dense and strong, with powerful tannic support and late…
