Comte Georges de Vogüé

2006 Comte Georges de Vogüé Chambolle-Musigny

Medium colour. High-toned, very red fruit-driven aromatics with a subtle creamy undertow. The aromas as the glass empties are of super-focused red berry. This is actually impressively concentrated with excellent dimensions of flavour. Whilst clearly an ‘executive’ villages, I can’t bring myself to spend 110 francs a bottle for a villages – I’d go for Clos des Ducs at the same price

Medium colour. Fine and very complex aromatics – very lovely mix of fruit(s) and faint torrefaction. Intense, plenty of velvet tannin and great dimension in the mid-palate. The flavour lingers really well. I seem to ‘click’ with this in most vintages, and frankly, this is almost worth the price of entry, even at 185 swiss francs!

The nose is a little spicy, yet at the core mineral too – less fruit-driven than the previous wines. Lots of fresh dimension and concentration in the mouth. The flavour keeps building long after you swallow – very long finishing. Excellent, just don’t mention the price.

Medium, medium-plus colour. Initially not quite the intensity of aroma as the previous wines, but certainly it’s very complex – remains fine, but it becomes ever-more precise in the glass. This wine really delivers. Your mouth is filled with so many dimensions. There’s a slight rasp to the tannin, but it’s just part of the experience. Super, and no spitting.
