The Chambolle village 2009 from Vogue is a fine wine for the vintage. The bouquet shows fine minerality and red and darker fruits. On the palate very good backbone of tannin and acidity, with a very fine freshness for a 2009. Very well balanced effort from Vogue. A pleasure and one of the top …

Chateau Latour Martillac 1955
