Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 2016

The 2016 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru, from the under-25 year-old vines ‘barred’ from the Musigny, is a step up from the village cru in terms of depth and fruit intensity, a mixture of raspberry and blackcurrant, fine mineralité and a subtle touch of iodine. The palate is replete with crunchy black fruit, a fine-boned Chambolle with a dash of white pepper fanning out toward the finish. I appreciate the energy and the focus of this wine and it should age with style once in bottle. Drink Date: 2023-2035. Score – 91-93. (Neal Martin, robertparker.com, Dec. 29, 2017)
