Comte Georges de VOGÜÉ (Chambolle-Musigny) -- 2017 Tasted from Bottle

My review of the 2017 de Vogüé wines tasted a year earlier from barrel is here.

The village wine was bottled in January 2019, the others in late March and early April 2019. 

François Millet said that the key to 2017 is to control the yields. Chambolle-Musigny had very low yields in 2016 due to frost, and vines that have suffered from frost one year typically overproduce the following year. De Vogüé did a green harvest in 2017 to contain the yields; no saigné (bleeding of the vats). As marvelous as the 2018s are, the 2017s will give them a good run for the money.

2017 Chambolle-Musigny
Dark fruits, sensual, fresh, crisp, mineral, classic. 92/A

2017 Chambolle-Musigny    1er Cru
As always, exclusively from Musigny vines less than 25 years-old. Beautiful, pure, stony blackberry and cherry nose. Classic satin texture, rich, blackberry and cherry fruit. Fresh, energetic, deep; sensual texture, but there are some tannins here so this wine will need time in bottle. 94+/A

2017 Bonnes-Mares
Finesse in texture, more direct fruit than the 1er Cru, blueberries roll off the tongue, long, fresh. Power in the context of this vintage. Purity and freshness of fruit. But needs time.  95+/A

2017 Musigny    vieilles vignes
Closed in the nose. Sensual texture, blackberry and other dark fruits that are very clear and indeed almost crystalline, depth. Great freshness, good energy and minerality. This wine needs time. 96+/A
