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.
17.5+/ 20 Points - Jancis Robinson
Made from the younger vines in the domaine’s holdings in Le Musigny – 10 to 25 year olds! Very bright, limpid crimson. Really quite sweet and rich and very different in character and class from the village wine – much tighter and more ambitious. There is just so much turbo-charged fruit here. Lots of fine tannins and energy on the finish. This wine gives the sense of being so good that it has no need to make the taster love it. Lots of minerality. (JR)

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. *Outstanding*
