Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Comte Georges de Vogue 2017 (750ML)

90-92 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "As readers will know, the 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru consists entirely of declassified young vine Musigny, and the wine naturally bears a certain resemblance to its big brother, unfurling in the glass with aromas of ripe cherries, cassis, dark chocolate and Indian spices. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a nicely concentrated core of fruit that's still quite primary, having finished its malolactic fermentation only in June/July, framed by chalky underlying tannins and juicy acids." 1/19

91-93 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru is a step up from the Village Cru in terms of delineation and precision. There is an almost sorbet-like vibrancy and energy to this Premier Cru, featuring a bouquet of blue fruit with hints of stem ginger. The palate is medium-bodied and sorbet-like, with good density. Blood orange infuses the black plum fruit, and hints of white pepper appear toward the finish. Excellent." 1/19

91-93 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "The equally fresh nose offers up notably spicier aromas of essence of plum, red cherry and lovely floral nuances. The very sleek and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors possess a beguiling inner mouth perfumed before concluding in a lacy yet focused and energetic finish that flashes both good power and minerality. Lovely stuff that is much less austere than it usually is." 1/19
