I recall being somewhat skeptical in late 2007 when I tasted the 2005 vintage from de Vogüé in Copenhagen. They were big, intense wines with plenty of everything – and then some – except for the filigreed delicacy Burgundy can display in exceptional cases. Now, almost 15 years later, I feel an update is due for those who may want to keep these wines in the cellar for the next 15 years. The 2005s still have this sturdy, manly expression, as if the Comte is shouting his command from the bottle: “Keep it in the cellar ten more years.”
The 2005s have started to unfold, but would I give them at least five to ten more years to permit the red fruit to express itself more overtly, and to allow the limestone mineral notes to come forward. Currently, this Chambolle 1er Cru is a bit too edgy and tannic – despite the extraction at de Vogüé being more moderate than at some other estates.
