Comte de Vogue, Chambolle Musigny 1999

By -

The 1999 Chambolle-Musigny Village from Comte de Vogue is now starting to show again after years of sleep. The bouquet starts out somewhat closed … but sweeter notes emmerge after some time in the glass – strawberries, raspberries, slight orange peel and a hint of sous-bois. On the palate the fruit initially has a quite dark expression, but after some aeration red, sweeter mature notes and a lovely Chambolle minerality is taking over. It’s a 1999 … so not very transparent, but good focus, terroir and concentration for a village wine. Very nice now but will be truely lovely after 3 – 5 years more in a cold cellar. A typical 1999 and a fine Chambolle Village – bravo Millet!
