The 2008 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru (from young vines in Musigny) is a powerful inward wine. There is lovely depth to the fruit but the wine remains tightly coiled at this stage even if occasional glimmers of richness emerge over time. Cloves cinnamon and a host of other spiced notes add complexity on the finish. This is another superb textured wine from de Vogue. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028. - Antonio Galloni

Classic ruby. An elegant and still restrained nose features pure and high-toned red pinot fruit stone and a hint of spice that gives way to gorgeously detailed precise and energetic medium-bodied flavors that possess a textured mouth feel that sweeps into a focused and sappy finish of controlled power and mild austerity. In sum this is a highly intense wine of finesse.
